Sumon Sk @ Shamin Sk And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

22.04.2025 akb Sl. 45 Ct.29 Rejected CRM (NDPS) No. 370 of 2025 In re: An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with NDPS Case No. 70 of 2024 arising out of Lalgola Police Station Case No. 835 of 2024 dated 12.08.2024 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985, now pending before the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act cum Addl. District Judge, 2nd Court at Berhampore, Murshidabad.

And In re:

Sumon Sk @ Shamin Sk. ... petitioner. Mr. Tapodip Gupta ...for the petitioner Mr. Iqbal Kabir Mr. Dipankar Paramanick ...for the State Petitioner herein contended that he has been falsely implicated and that he is in custody for more than eight months and that the investigation has already been ended in charge-sheet and trial has not yet been commenced and as such he may be released on bail in any terms and conditions.

Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposed the bail prayer contending that 1,201 gms. of Heroin was recovered from the joint possession and that the trial is going to be commenced shortly and at this stage if the petitioner is released on bail there is every chance of his abscondence.

Having heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and the State I find that in the present case, rigor of Section 37 of the NDPS Act attracts and as such the prayer for bail is rejected. However, the Trial Court is requested to conclude the trial preferably within a period of one year from the next date of hearing.

CRM (NDPS) No. 370 2025 thus stands disposed of. (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.)
