Muslim @ Dabor Ali @ Muslim Sk v. State Of West Bengal

08.06.2026 Sl. No.13 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M (A) 1371 of 2026 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Lalgola PS Case No.930/2025 dated 29.10.2025 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of: Muslim @ Dabor Ali @ Muslim Sk. ... petitioner Mr. Satadru Lahiri, Ms. Benajir Hasna, Mr. Aliul Islam.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya, Mr. Utsav Dutta.

...for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that other than the statement of a co-accused, which is not admissible in evidence, there is no other material to implicate the present petitioner.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State relies on the case diary and opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, he submits that as per the report, there is no criminal antecedent or money trail or phone call record to implicate the present petitioner. Charge sheet has been submitted. In view of the above, the petitioner has been able to rebut the restriction contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act and considering the other materials available in the case dairy and the fact that charge sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date and shall regularly attend the jurisdictional Court. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
