19.

05.08.2021 Ct.32 Tanmoy Dismissed C.R.M. 2064 of 2021 In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 23/02/2021 in connection with Golabari Police Station Case No. 217 of 2019 dated 12/06/2019 under Sections 20(b)(ii)&C/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985.

And In the matter of: - Md. Shahed @ Md. Sahid @ Raju ....petitioner.

Mr. Shekhar Barman ...for the petitioner (through V.C.).

Mr. Neguive Ahmed, A.P.P., Mr. Anowar Hossain, Mrs. Amita Gaur ...for the State.

It is not in dispute that contraband substance above commercial quantity was recovered from the possession of the petitioner who is in custody for a considerable period of time. Charge-sheet has been submitted but charges have not yet been framed.

We have considered the material in the Case Diary. In view of the statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application for bail being C.R.M. 2064 of 2021 is dismissed.

We are informed that the date for consideration of charge before the learned trial Court has been fixed on September 2, 2021. We also notice that twice before, the petitioner's prayer for bail was rejected by this Court.

However, in view of the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we request the learned trial Court to consider framing of charge on the said date and take the trial to its logical conclusion as expeditiously as the business of the Court may permit without granting any unnecessary adjournment to the parties.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of this order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Arijit Banerjee, J.)
