Saimuddin Sk. @ Md. Sahimuddin v. State Of West Bengal

AD 66 March 31, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 610 of 2026 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Lalgola P.S. Case No.712 of 2025 dated 09.08.2025 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of: Saimuddin Sk.@ Md. Sahimuddin ... petitioner Mr. Navanil De Mr. Srinjan Ghosh ... for the petitioner Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharya Ms. Sima Biswas ... for the State Report filed by the State is taken on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that other than the statement of a co-accused, there is no other incriminating material available against the petitioner. Charge-sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there is no phone call record or money trail or criminal antecedent to implicate the present petitioner.

In view of the fact that there is no other incriminating material available against the petitioner except the statement of a co-accused, the petitioner has been able to rebut the restrictions contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act and considering the materials available in the case diary and the

fact that charge-sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on the further conditions that the petitioner shall surrender before the jurisdictional court within four weeks from this date and pray for bail, shall attend the jurisdictional court regularly and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
