27.03.2026

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.497 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 417 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Kaliyaganj Police Station Case No. 391 of 2025 dated 25.09.2025 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re :

Bimal Roy and another ... Petitioners.

Mr. Satadru Lahiri, Mr. Rajat Ray, Mr. Jyotirmoy Talukder ... For the Petitioners.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur, APP, Mr. Mujibar Ali Naskar ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been implicated in connection with the instant case for alleged recovery of 21.82 kgs. of ganja/contraband and are in custody for more than 180 days.

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

Having considered that the petitioners are in custody for more than six months and there is no possibility of the trial being concluded within a reasonable period of time in spite of objection raised by the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioners viz., 1. Bimal Roy and 2. Rajendra Roy shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- each, 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, 1st Court, Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur.

If on bail, the petitioners 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 Uttar Dinajpur without prior permission of the learned Special Court.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 417 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.
