Item No.28 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 85 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Balurghat Police Station Case No. 414 of dated 21.06.2025 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/25/27A/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

And In Re :

Utpal Barman ... Petitioner.

Mr. Kaushik Choudhury, Mr. Dwaipayan Panda, Mr. Tridib Das ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Bitasok Banerjee, Ms. Pallavi Priyadarshee ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused from whom 148 bottles of phensedyl were recovered and petitioner is in custody for 60 days. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail.

Having considered that petitioner has been implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Utpal Barman shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be

local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act-cum-Additional District Judge, 3rd Court, Dakshin Dinajpur at Balurghat,.

If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Special Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Dakshin Dinajpur without prior permission of the learned Special Court.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 85 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.

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.
