Petitioner(s) Mr. Tapodip Gupta Mr. Golam Ahammed ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das, ld. APP Mr. Amartya Mohan Bhattacharyya ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated in the present case for the alleged recovery of 223 bottles of Broncof-C Cough Syrup. Learned advocate also submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 11 months and only two witnesses have been examined out of the 12 witnesses cited by the prosecution in the charge-sheet.
Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
Having considered that 10 more witnesses are left to be examined by the prosecution which will consume substantial time, I am of the opinion that further custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted.
Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.
Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Shilon Mondal 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, 2nd Court, 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 permission of the learned Special court/trial court.
Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1008 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.
