Samir Mondal Versus

The State of West Bengal

Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee Md. Shahid Hasan.

…for the petitioner.

Mr. Prakash Mishra.

…for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits

that the petitioner is in custody for 1 year 2 months. It has been contended that there are no other cases pending against the present petitioner and there was no involvement of the present petitioner, as such, he may be granted bail.

On the other hand, learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary which reflects that there was some involvement of the present petitioner which is subject to the facts to be presented by the prosecution before the learned trial court. Charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court.

Having regard to the nature of the case and the complicity of the present petitioner, I am of the view that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for
