-AndIn the matter of : Baisista Mondal @ Chitto ... ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. AVik Ghosh ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Anand Keshari Mr. Sufi Kamal ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is similarly placed as the other accused persons who have been granted bail in CRM (NDPS) 622 of 2026. Learned advocate added that the petitioner is in custody for about six months.
Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
Having considered the quantum of seizure; the factum of charge-sheet having been submitted; the period of detention of the present petitioner which is about six months as also the fact that similarly placed accused persons have been granted bail, I am of the view that
further incarceration of the present petitioner is unwarranted.
Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.
Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Baisista Mondal @ Chitto shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under NDPS Act-cum-Additional District Judge, 5th Court at Berhampore, Murshidabad.
If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned Special Court/trial court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior intimation to the learned Special Court/trial court.
Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 688 of 2026 is allowed. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.
Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
