17.03.2023 Sl. No.12 akd [ALLOWED] C. R. M. (NDPS) 405 of 2023 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 06.03.2023 in connection with Baguiati Police Station Case No. 34 of 2023 dated 17.01.2023 under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act.

And In Re: Ranju Pal ... Petitioner Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty ... for the petitioner Mr. Sudip Ghosh Mr. Bitasok Banerjee ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is in custody for about 53 days. No narcotic substance was recovered from his possession. Recovery from co-accused is also below commercial quantity. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion further detention of the accused/petitioner is not necessary. Therefore, the accused/petitioner, namely Ranju Pal, be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.

10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act-cum-Additional Sessions Judge, 6th Court, Barasat, North 24-Parganas subject to condition that the said petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever or commit similar offences in future. In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without any justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court.

The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
