Ct.No.28.

as (Allowed) C.R.M. (NDPS) 626 of 2024 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with NDPS Case No.75 of 2023 arising out of Palashipara P.S. Case No.320 of 2023 dated 15.10.2023 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act and charge sheet submitted under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act.

In the matter of : Yarul Sk. @ Yearul Sk. @ Iyarul Sekh. .... Petitioner.

Md. Sabir Ahmed, Mr. Abdul Aziz Mondal.

...for the Petitioner.

Md. Kutubuddin.

...for the State.

1.

Petitioner is the brother of the principal accused. He contends he resides in a different premise and does not have any nexus with the illegal narcotics trade. He is in custody for 137 days. Accordingly, he prays for bail.

2.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. He contends petitioner had telephonic conversations with his brother from whom narcotics was recovered.

3.

We have considered the materials on record. Narcotics was recovered from a cowshed attached to his brother's house. It is contended petitioner resides at a different place. Apart from CDRs showing telephonic conversations (which is not improbable in view of the sibling relationship between the parties), no other material showing involving of the petitioner in storing narcotics in the cowshed of his brother is placed on record.
