Kishan Kumar Shaw v. State of West Bengal
Case brief
What is this about?
Kishan Kumar Shaw v. The State of West Bengal, C.R.M. (M) 470 of 2026 (08.04.2026, Tirthankar Ghosh, J.): bail application under Section 439 CrPC / Section 483 BNSS dismissed; delay beyond the 31.01.2026 verdict deadline fixed in CRM(M)2150 of 2025 attributed to the accused's repeated adjournment prayers for cross-examining the investigating officer; underlying case Rahara Police Station Case No.140 of 2022 under Sections 302/34 IPC and 25/27 Arms Act.
What did the court decide?
Having considered that the accused contributed to the delay and stretching of the proceedings (by seeking time on every date for cross-examination of the investigating officer after the latter's examination-in-chief), this is not a fit case to extend the liberty of bail; the prayer for bail in CRM(M)470 of 2026 is dismissed. ¶16
