Magsad Ali v. State Of West Bengal

30.03.2026

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.591 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 578 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Nabagram Police Station Case No. 371 of 2025 dated 14.06.2025 under Sections 20(b)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Magsad Ali ... Petitioner.

Mr. Tapodip Gupta ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Anand Keshari, Mr. Sarthak Mondal ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated in connection with the instant case for alleged recovery of 161.280 kgs. of ganja. The investigation has already been concluded and chargesheet has been submitted before the jurisdictional court. However, charges have not been framed till date. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail.

Having considered that the petitioner has failed to overcome the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 578 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed.

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.
