Deep Roy v. State Of West Bengal

19.01.2026

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.32 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 31 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Nabadwip Police Station Case No. 330 of 2025 dated 07.05.2025 under Sections 21(C)/25/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Deep Roy ... Petitioner.

Mr. Sumanta Das ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Bitasok Banerjee, Ms. Ankita Pal ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent of the charges and has been falsely implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused and the petitioner is in custody for more than eight months. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the case started on the alleged recovery of 18200 bottles of phensedyl from a Truck. Consequently the name of the petitioner surfaced and the petitioner was arrested from Nagaland and from his rented house in West Bengal, 3.3 grams of heroin was recovered. It is submitted that although initially chargesheet has been submitted, but further investigation of the case is in progress.

Having regard to the plea of the State that an interstate racket is in operation, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 31 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed.

All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
