Nabab Sk. v. State Of West Bengal

20.04.2026 Court No.35.

D/L.22.

Rakib CRM (NDPS) 666 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with English Bazar Police Station case no. 237 of 2025 dated 12.02.2025 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of : Nabab Sk.

......Petitioner.

Mr. Amitabha Karmakar Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick .....for the Petitioner.

Mr. Iqbal Kabir Ms. Pallavi Priyadarshee ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 104 days and has been implicated in connection with the instant case for alleged recovery of 600 bottles of phensedyl. It has also been submitted that charges have been framed by the learned trial Court but witness action is yet to commence.

Learned advocate for the State on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the contraband was recovered from the house of the petitioner who had been absconding for a considerable period of time.

Having regard to the stage of the case, I direct that if after the evidence of seizure list witnesses are over the learned trial Court finds that the same dilutes the prosecution case, the learned trial Court/Special Court will leniently consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. To that effect the learned trial Court will pre-pone the

evidence of the seizure list witnesses and ensure that within a period of 90 days from the next date the evidence of seizure list witnesses are over.

With the aforesaid observations CRM (NDPS) No. 666 of 2026 is disposed of.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
