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 ¢.

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.

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 was lodged 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.

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 y misdemeanor, 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 trying 12, 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 being 13. 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 prove the 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, at 19. 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 su ai. ‘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 subordinate court 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 allow And for this act of kindness, your petitioner, as in duty bound, shall ever pray. -18- the present application and be further pleased to set aside and/or quash the impugned Order dated 25.01.2024 passed by the Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barrakpore thereby granting AI bail to the opposite party no. in connection with Narayanpur. Police Station Case No. 11 of 2024 dated 18.01.2024 under sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 477 A, 511, 120R of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 {corresponding to G. R.
