27.03.2026

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.508 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 440 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Patiram Police Station Case No. 58 of 2025 dated 16.03.2025 under Sections 21(b)/22(b)/23(b)/27A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re :

Najmul Mondal ... Petitioner.

Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Arindam Sen, Mr. Md. Kutubuddin ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated in connection with the instant case on the basis of statement of co-accused and the subject-matter of the case relates to alleged recovery of 91 bottles of phensedyl.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail as the petitioner is in custody for 44 days.

However, having regard to the fact that petitioner has been detained only on the basis of statement of co-accused, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Najmul Mondal shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, 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-cum-Additional District Judge, 3rd Court, Dakshin Dinajpur at Balurghat.

If on bail, the petitioner 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 Dakshin Dinajpur without prior permission of the learned Special Court.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 440 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.
