Sydul Mondal @ Boltu @ Chaidul Mandal v. State Of West Bengal

AD 80 May 5, 2025 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 1482 of 2025 Allowed An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hili P.S. Case No.134 of 2024 dated 01.09.2024 under Section 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A/28/29 of the Narcotics Draught and Cosmetic Act.

And In the matter of:

Sydul Mondal @ Boltu @ Chaidul Mandal ... petitioner Ms. Busra Khatun ... for the petitioner.

Mr. Anand Keshari Mr. Abhishek Verma ... for the State Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no material available except the statement of a co-accused, which is inadmissible in evidence against the petitioner. Charge-sheet has been submitted.

Learned counsel for the State submits that there is no other incriminating material available against the petitioner except a statement of a co-accused.

In view of the fact that apart from a statement of a coaccused there is hardly any material against the petitioner and considering the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

In the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of like amount each, one of

whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on the further conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses and shall appear and pray for bail within four weeks from this date before the learned trial court.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
