IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.70 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 869 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Basirhat Police Station Case No. 14 of 2025 dated 06.01.2025 under Section 21(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and Section 14A(b) of the Foreigners Act.

And In Re :

Arijul Gazi ... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Saha ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, APP, Mr. Bankim Pal ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 02.12.2025. The subject-matter of the case relates to alleged recovery of 236 bottles of Phensedyl and the petitioner has been implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused. Charge-sheet has been submitted before the jurisdictional court and the prosecution has relied upon 10 witnesses in order to prove its case.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that petitioner was absconding when the charge-sheet was submitted before the learned Special Court.

I have taken into account the quantum of seizure in the present case, period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that till date charge has not been framed.

Having regard to the same, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Arijul Gazi shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act, Barasat, North 24-Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date so fixed by the learned Special Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of North 24-Parganas without prior permission of the learned Special Court.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 869 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities.
