What is this about?

CRM (M) 218 of 2026, decided 11.02.2026 by Tirthankar Ghosh, J. — bail application under S.439 CrPC/S.483 BNSS 2023 dismissed in murder case (Ss.302/201/120(B) IPC, Narayanpur PS case no. 126 of 2023); petitioner in custody 2 years 5 months, 2 of 32 witnesses examined; bail refused on grounds of petitioner's complicity with principal accused, eyewitness statement in Case Diary that he identified the victim to co-accused, and gravity of the offence.

What did the court decide?

Having regard to the petitioner's complicity — he was thickly connected with the principal accused in the alleged commission of the offence — and considering the gravity of the offence, this is not a fit case for granting bail. ¶¶13
