Md. Farhan Ahmed v. State Of West Bengal

27.03.2026 Court No.35.

D/L. 499.

Kausik (Rejected) CRM (NDPS) 419 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Kulti Police Station Case No. 53 of 2025 dated 31.01.2025 under sections 20(b)(ii)(C)/25/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of : Md. Farhan Ahmed ......Petitioner.

Mr. Ayan Basu Mr. Sk. Salim Mr. Sumit Routh ......for the Petitioner.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for about 1 year and 2 months and although charges have been framed and witness action commenced, but till date there has been no substantial progress in the case, as such the petitioner prays for bail. Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, submits that commercial quantity of contraband is involved. I have taken into account the submissions of the learned advocate for the petitioner as well as the State. At this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail as the contraband involved is of commercial quantity. Petitioner would be at liberty to approach this Court after the evidence of the seizure list witnesses are over. To that

effect, learned Special Court would reschedule and prepone the date of the examination of the evidence of the seizure list witnesses.

At this stage, CRM (NDPS) 419 of 2026 is dismissed. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
