Ajit Kumar Tewari And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

D/L302 16.04.2026 C.R.M. (NDPS)598 of 2026 Bpg.

In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Nabagram Police Station Case No.522 of 2025 dated 22.08.2025 under Sections 20(b)/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985;

Ajit Kumar Tewari & Anr.

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Maidul Islam Kayal Mr. Anisur Rahaman Mr. Archishman Singh.

...for the petitioners.

Mr. Arindam Sen Mr. Santanu Deb Roy.

...for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that from the joint possession of the petitioners there has been alleged recovery of 71 kgs. of ganja and the petitioners are in custody for about more than 7 months. Charge-sheet has already been submitted, as such, further detention of the petitioners are unwarranted.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that date has been fixed for consideration of charges on the next date fixed.

Having considered the quantum of recovery, I am of the opinion that the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS Act is attracted in

the present case, as such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is rejected. However, the learned trial court would ensure that there is a speedy progress of the trial and the charges are framed on the next date or within a month from the next date so fixed. With the aforesaid observations, CRM(NDPS) 598 of 2026 is dismissed.

All 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 of all requisite formalities.
