Case brief
What is this about?
Calcutta High Court (Jalpaiguri Circuit Bench), C.R.M. (M) 26 of 2026, order dated 18.02.2026 by Suvra Ghosh, J.: bail under Section 483 BNSS 2023 refused to Parimal Sarkar, father of the principal accused, in Bhorer Alo Police Station Case No. 338 of 2025 (Sections 6/14 POCSO Act read with Sections 78/137(2)/140(3)/123/117(2)/109(3) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita); petitioner in custody about 30 days; victim alleges petitioner ravished her in the principal accused's absence despite his son having married her; charge sheet submitted; bail rejected on gravity of offence; case diary to be returned.
What did the court decide?
Although the petitioner is the father of the principal accused who eloped with the victim, subsequently married her and resided in the petitioner's house, the allegation against the petitioner is extremely serious in nature - the victim alleges that the petitioner ravished her in the absence of the principal accused.
