24.09.2021 C.R.M. 2479 of 2021 tkm/ct 29 (Via Video Conference) sl no. 42 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Lalgola P.S case no. 156 of 2015 dated 13.3.2015 under section 22 of the NDPS Act In Re : Jahangir Alam ........ petitioner Mr. Tapodip Gupta ...... for the petitioner Mr. Sudip Gosh Mr. Bitasok Banerjee ...... for the State Petitioner seeks bail.

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody in excess of three years. He submits that since trial commenced, there is no requirement of further detention of the petitioner.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that commercial quantity of phensedyl was seized from the joint possession of the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and bearing in mind the fact that phensedyl above commercial quantity was recovered from the joint possession of the petitioner, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ananda Kumar Mukherjee, J.) (Debangsu Basak, J.)
