-AndIn the matter of : Rajkumar Sarkar ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. A. Ghosh Ms. Ankusha Ghosh ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Antarikya Basu Ms. Sanjida Sultana ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated on the basis of alleged recovery of 22 kg 880 gm of ganja and is in custody for 10 months.

Additionally, it has been submitted that since the investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been submitted before the learned jurisdictional court, on any stringent condition, the petitioner may be released on bail.

Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail.

I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and I am of the view that further custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Rajkumar Sarkar shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Learned Judge, Special Court under NDPS Act-cum-learned Additional District & Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Berhampore, Murshidabad.

If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior intimation to the learned trial court.

Accordingly, CRM(NDPS) 126 of 2026 is allowed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
