The humble petition on behalf of
the petitioner / defacto
complainant above named -
Most Respectfully Sheweth:-
1 ‘That your petitioner statcs that he has not filed any other
petition praying before this Hon’ble Court or any other Court of
Law for cancellation of bail of the accused persons in connection
with Narayanpur Police Station Case No. 11 of 2024 dated
18.01.2024 under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 477 A, S11 and120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, pending before the Court
of the Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Barrackpore, North 24 Parganas, therein praying for same
and/or similar reliefs.
‘That your petitioner is a peace loving and law-abiding
citizen of India, aged about 49 years and a permanent resident
of Bara Ganti Kalitala, Police Station - Narayanpur, Rajarhat
Gopalpur, Post Office Ganganagar, North 24 Parganas, West
Tengal, PIN Code: 700132. On the professional score, the
petitioner is presently an unemployed fellow who had been
keenly associated with the schools under Barrackpore Diocese
and had been working in the school called St. Stephen's school
at Rajarhat since early 2011 as gate keeper. The then
management verbally assigned the petitioner further duty of
caretaker and allowed him to reside within the vicinity of school
premises. By dint of his close association with the institution/
organization, he came to aware of some irregularities and/or
improprieties carried on day by day under the organization.
‘That your petitioner states that the opposite party no. 2
is the Scerctary of the Managing Committee, St. Stephen School,
Dum Dum, and the other opposite parties are also keenly
associated with interest and/or the office bearers of both the
dioceses of Barrackpore and Kolkata under the CNI. It is
pertinent to mention that the various schools under both the
Diocese are established and governed under Article 30 of the
Constitution of IndiaBefore delving into the narration of the instant case,
certain facts, which are germane for proper adjudication of the
present application may be delineated as follows:
a. Your petitioner states that since he raised objection and
protested against the prevailing misdemeanor and/or
corruption perpetrated by the office bearers of the
organizations, they robbed off his basic means of survival
and eacked him from his service without assigning any
acceptable reason.
b. That all those teachers and non-tcaching staffs who
protested against such illegal activities, not only washed
away their hands from service but inflicted with false and
fabricated criminal cases. The petitioner is the one
amongst the five accused persons whom have been made
accused in Dum Dum P.S. case No. 28 of 2023 dated
12.01.2023 on the ground of not having requisite
qualification to be appointed as a teacher in St.
ated,
Stephen’s school and some other minor fabri
grounds,
Copy of the Fir No. 28/2023 dated 12.01.2023 is
Annexed and marked as Annexure P/1
¢. Itis stated that a title suit bearing no. 107 of 2022 before
the Learned Civil Judge (Junior Division) Bidhannagar
was filed by the opposite party no 1 against the petitioner
to evict him from his residential premises and failed to
secure order in his favour, The opposite party No. 1
preferred an appeal by filing C.O. bearing No. 4027 of
2023 before Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta andsomehow, stayed the solemn order of the Court below
vide order dated 23.11.2023. However, this petitioner/de-
facto complainant approached the Highest Forum by
filing Special Leave to Appeal (c) bearing No. 1747/2024
impugning the order dated 23.11.2023, wherein an order
has been passed on 25.01.2024 inter alia, stayed the
order of the Hon’ble High Court dated 23.11.2023 till
further hearing.
Copy of the interim order of stay dated 25.01.2023
passed in Special Leave to Appeal (c) No. 1747/ 2024 is
Annexed and Marked as Annexure P/2.
Your pelilioner slales thal since, he had been closely
associated with the functioning of the Diocese, he came to aware
of the factum of rampant corruption and humungous
misappropriation of public funds, That the petitioner lodged
complaint on 04.12.2023 before the Inspector in Charge,
Narayanpur police station. The concerned police station did
nothing and the petitioner raised complaint before the
Commissioner of Police, Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate on
07, 12. 2024,
Thereafter, the petitioncr filed one complaint case under section
186 (3) Cr. P.C before the Learned Addl. Chief Judicial
Magistrate at Barrackpore bearing M.P. case No. 59 of 2024 with
some supporting documents. The Learned Court was pleased to
ccted the Inspector in
pass an Order on 15.01.2024 inter alia,
Charge, Narayanpur Police Station to treat the complaint of your
petitioner as the First Information Report. Thereafter, FIR waslodged by the Narayanpur P.S. bearing FIR No. 11/2024 dated
18.01.2024 under sections 420/ 467/ 468/471/477A/S11/
120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Copy of the Order dated 15.01.2024, FIR no.
11/2024 and the application filed U/s 156 (3) of the Cr.
P.C along with the annexures are hereby annexed and
Marked ou Annexure P/3.
7. Thereafter, the concerned police station served notice to your
petitioner under section 91 of the code of Criminal Procedure
code read with section 160 of the Cr. P.C ,1973 and asked your
petitioner to present before the Investigating Officer to produce
relevant documents in respect of causing cxamination in
connection with the case.
Copy of the notice served under section 91/160 Cr.
P.C and the seizure list are annexed herewith and
marked as Annexure P/4.
Your petitioner was astonished when the concerned police
station remained silent to proceed with the Complaint and FIR
No. 11/2024 even after the order of the Learned Court, the
petitioner made complaint to the Commissioner of Police on
24.01.2024.
Copy of the complaint dated 24.01.2024 addressed
to the Commissioner of Police is annexed and marked as
Annexure P/5.
That the seizure was made in front of witnesses and
there arc several important documents depicting the
ymisdemeanor, irregularities and illegalities caused by the office
bearers of the Diocese under CNI. There is one agreement
annexed to the 156 (3) application itself, from where it is being
clearly transpires the corrupt and malicious intentions of the
opposite party No. 1 and other office bearers of the different
Dioceses which led to systematic takeover of the finance of the
Dioceses under CNI. It is submitted that from the purported
agreement dated 06.12.2020 executed between Diocese of
Barrackpore, Church of North India and Katha O Kahini
company Pvt. Ltd. Wherefrom it is transpiring that a massive
amount amounting to rupees 1,10,00000/- cach year has been
taken away in the name of donation from the book seller. The
opposite party No. 1 is having exclusive control over the
Barrackpore Diocesan Fund. Most of these amounts are taken
in cash. The rebate for selling books of the book seller (primarily
applicable to the students) are being transformed in to
commission and/ or donation through a purported deed of
contract and thus private and personal gains are being done at
the cost of the others. Those donations amount never disclosed
in the books of accounts of the Diocese and are being grab for
personal benefits.
It is submitted and drawn attention to this Hon’ble Court
of a similar agreement executed between Assembly of God
Church School, Park Street and Katha O Kahini wherefrom it is
seen that the due discount amounting to rupees 10% of the
book’s price has been given to all students.
10 Again, several forged cash memos in the name of S.D,
Construction proprietor name Sanjib Das of 18 Dr. Jeevan.
Ratan. Dhar Road, Kolkata -28 has been seized by the-10-
investigation officer where from it is transpire that the aforesaid
company supplied material and given service to the secretary,
St. Stephen’s School, Dum Dum. It is submitted that a huge
amount of money has been syphoned by way of this type of
false and fabricated bills irregularities and improprieties are
vivid upon perusal of bills. The petitioner astonished that the
date of the all the bills and approval of the date of bills arc
same, all the bills have been approved on the same day by the
opposite party Nol. it is seen that UST has been collected
against service and supply of building materials but the fact
remains is that uo such massive amount of construction work
carried out in the recent past. The cash memos against which
bills have been sanctioned having neither any SAC (Services
and Accounting Code) nor HSN (Harmonized system of
Nomenclature) code. Surprisingly, such type of bills against
which a massive amount has been transferred is not an
appropriate format prescribed under section 31 of the CGST
Act, 2017 and rule 46 of the CGST Rule. The entire forged
amount is being grabbed by Suklyan Halder, opposite party
nol. It is being necessitated to enquire into issue and custodial
interrogation is necessary to the opposite party nol and others
as well. It is pertinent to mentioned here that Mr. Sanjib Das,
proprietor of M/S S.D Construction was a driver of the St.
Stephen’s School Dum Dum. M/S S.D. Construction is
factually managed and operated by the opposite party nol.
It is submitted that in contravention to the verdict of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court regarding alienation of Trust Property,
the office bearers of the governing body of the founder body.
especially, Sukalyan Halder, the Secretary, continuously trying12,
to sold out property of the schools and the Diocese. One page
being page no 17 of a resolution taken on 28,10,2022 has been
seized by the investigation officer, where form it is transpires
that one resolution has been adopted for sale of lands including
buildings of three schools on the pretext of financial crisis.
Again, on a very recent past, one property of Nadia district under
Murutia police station measuring about 73.50 satak has sold
out by the diocese.
Copy of the resolution dated 28.10.2022 and sale
deed dated 10.04.2023 are annexed herein and marked
as Annexure P/6.
It is submitted that each and every where a rampant
corruplion is going on under the diocesan school controlled by
the accused office bearers. I have come across one set of bills
issued by one Dipankar Gayen having mobile number
7044957316 to the St. Stephen’s school for supply, fitting and
fixture of materials comes under “service (SAC) of GST”
amounting to rupees 1,93,83,623/- dated 15/03/2022 with
additional GST amount 34,89,052/- total amounting to rupees
2,28,72,675/-. Surprisingly, those bills are also not in
conformity with the GST Act. GST are being collected in cash
memo without following the prescribed format enumerated in the
GST Laws. ‘The trade name of the business is ‘Dipankar Gayen’,
it is a proprietorship, works at retail business and the date of
GST registration is 14/06/2019.
Dipankar Gayen raised those false and fabricated kachha bills
on 15.03.2022 whereas, the GST registration had alrcady becn
cancelled on 28/01/2022 contravening the provision of section
36 of the CGST Act, 2017. Such types of cash memos are being13.
14.
utilized for collection of GST and thus evasion of GST is done at
the behest of the corrupt office bearers of the St. Stephen
School.
All are in hand in glove and they used to misappropriate the
whole money for their own benefit.
Copy of the bills dated 15.03.2023 of Dipankar
Gayen and the website portal document showing status
of GST registration are hereby annexed and marked as
Annexure P-7.
It is submitted that under the vail of the Mitre and the
stole, the Bishop of Calcutta and the office bearers of the
Diocese of Barrckpore leading a life of tuxury and leisure at the
cost of the others. By virtue of being in the position and laking
undue advantages of their offices, such a massive corruption has
been perpetrated. All the accused persons/opposite parties in
connivance with each other indulges in an illegal activity for
their own personal gain. All the accused/opposite parties are
running a racket of fabricating documents knowing the same to
be forged for the purpose of transferring valuable security or to
delivery any money, movable property or security. The concerned
police authority has rightly lodged FIR under sections 420/
467/468/471/477A/511/120B of IPC. Investigation in required
to be done thoroughly at this initial stage for the sake of justice,
It is submitted that in an carlier complaint, Mr. Ramnath
Prasad, Senior Intelligence Officer, Directorate General of GST
intelligence, Kolkata Zonal Unit was cngaged as investigating
officer who conducted raid and got various documents to provethe allegations but for his personal gain and benefit, he did not
unveil the corruption allowed such corrupt practices.
18. Under such circumstances, the opposite party No. 1
namely Sukalyan Halder filed one put up petition and
surrendered thereafter filed one petition praying for bail
- bearing No. 1619/ 2024 before the Learned Addl. Chief Judicial
Magistrate at Barrackpore on 25/01/2024 and the learned
Court below allowed the petition and enlarged the
accused/opposite party No.1 on add interim bail without
peeping in to the core issue of the offences and without any
restraints of law. Learned Court below was guided only by the
pending previous cases lodged by the present accused against
the present complainant, The Icarned court below overlooked
the evidences on record which reflects commission of
cognizable and non bailable offences.
Certified copy of the impugned order dated
25.01.2024 passed by the Learned Addl. Chief Judicial
Magistrate is annexed and marked as Annexure P/8.
16. It is not only shocking, but baffles the mind of a
prudent man as to how, inspite of the nature and gravity of the
alleged offences and inspite of having materials available on
record, allowed the A bail where the investigation is in the very
initial stage.
17. The Learned Addl. Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Barrackpore, at the time of granting bail did not apply his
judicial mind to the fact that the accused are alleged to have
been committed offences punishable with life imprisonment, at19.
20.
jal stage, when the accused appear or brought
the very i
before the Magistrate, the Magistrate would not have
jurisdiction to release such person on bail.
18, ‘The Learned Court below failed to apply his judicial mind
at the time of granting bail and failed to understand the legal
proposition that when the accused is brought before a
Magistrate for an offence punishable with death or
imprisonment for life, then at the initial stage, the Magistrate
cannot exercise any discretion in the matter of granting bail.
The Learned judge below, with deepest respect to him, has
failed to apply his judicial mind, in as much as where the
materials on record disclosed commission non bailable offence, it
is a bounden duty of the learned judge to consider the gravity of
the allegation. The judicial duty of the judge enjoins upon him a
more onerous duty and requires application of judicial mind at
every stage to keep a cheque and maintain a balance between
the efficiency of the investigating agency with established
judicial norms so that no party to a proceeding should feel that
the dice was heavily loaded against him or her.
It is submitted that in the instant case it appears that the
Learned judge failed to adhere to the settled cannons of law and
resultantly passed an erroneous order which is otherwise not
maintainable and is liable to be set aside and/or cancelled.
Failure on the part of the Learned Judge to appreciate correct
legal proposition qua the fact situation of the present case is
evident from the records that the Learned. Judge ‘perused the
perverse order
case record’ and recorded suai.
‘The petitioner states that the impugned order clearly states
that there has been a failure on the part of the Learned Court to
correctly assess the gravity of the offences as disclosed in the
FIR and Seizure and committed by the opposite party
no.1/acoused. The impugned order dated 25.01.2024 which
suffers from such illegality is causing severe prejudice to the
petitioner and the justice delivery system at large.
It is submitted that the accused/ opposite parties are
very influential persons having close relations with the senior
leaders and ministers of the ruling political party. The
accuscd/opposite party No.1 is a school teacher and
representative of the District: Primary School Council (PPSC),
Barasat, North 24 parganas and presently he has been assumed
in the honorary post and working as the Secretary, St. Stephen’s
school, Dum Dum. In the last election, the Chairman, DPSC,
North 24 Pargana requested the District Magistrate, for
exemption of Election Duty in favour of Sukalyan Halder.
Further, these office bearers of the dioceses having strong
connections with the supreme officials of the slate machinery as
well as with the powerful political personalities.
Copy of some photographs depicting the political and
ions of the opposite parties are annexed
bureaucrat conne
herewith and marked as Annexure P/9.
23, The petitioner states that it is also necessary for the
Learned Court granting bail to consider, amongst other
circumstances, the following factors before granting bail:-16-
‘The nature of accusation and the severity of punishment
in case of conviction.
b, The nature of supporting evidence,
Reasonable apprehension of tampering with the witness
or apprehension of threat to the complainant.
d. Prima facie satisfaction of the Learned Court in support
of the accusation.
«. Detrimental effect that the order granting bail may Inve,
on the efforts of the complainant to secure justice
Here in this case, the Learned Judge at the time of
granting bail not only forgot alll the above-mentioned principles
of law relating lo the grant of bail, but also by passing such
perverse order has made a mockery of justice.
24. ‘The petitioner states that the impugned order does not
adhere to established principles of law and in a catena of
decisions of this Hon’ble Court as well as the Apex Court, it has
been clearly enunciated that an order which fails to take into
consideration the correct state of affairs and does not pay heed
to the relevant sections of law is not an irregularity but is an
illegality which ought to be sct aside in order to restore justice,
equity and good conscience.
25, It is trite law that reappreciation of material facts needs
to be ensured when materials on record are not considered by
the Learned Judge and the order granting bail in itself is
improper. The Hon’ble Apex Court in Subodh Kumar Yadav vs.
State of Bibar and Anr., reported in (2009) 14 SCC 638 has
observed that if a superior court finds that the subordinatecourt has erred in its decision for granting bail by considering
irrelevant material, or non-application of mind, or fails to take
note of any statutory bar to grant bail, or failure to consider the
statement of material witnesses under section 164 of the Code
of Criminal Procedure, etc., at the time of consideration of the
application of bail of the accused persons/respective opposite
parties, in such cases, the bail is liable to be cancelled.
26. The petitioner states that unless the accused / opposite
parties are taken into custody upon their bail being cancelled
by this Hon’ble Court, the wagon of justice will suffer an
irreparable breakdown and vital evidence may be lost and/or
witnesses may be silenced or threatened during the course of
the trial. Under such circumstances, it is imperative that. thia
Hon'ble Court in order to further the cause of justice, be
pleased to set aside the impugned order and remand the
accused to custody.
27. The petitioner states that the impugned Order dated
25.01.2024 passed by the Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Barrakpore, thereby granting bail to the opposite party no.1, is
otherwise bad in law and no consideration of merits at all and
is liable to be set aside forthwith for the interest of justice.
The application is bona fide and made in the interest of
justice.
In light of the above
circumstances, it is humbly
prayed that Your Lordships may
graciously be pleased to allowAnd for this act of kindness, your petitioner, as in duty bound, shall ever
pray.
