(NDPS Case No. 141 of 2025) And In Re: Manoj Sarkar & Ors.

... ... Petitioners Mr. Moyukh Mukherjee Mr. Anisur Rahman Ms. Sarmistha Basak ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Pritam Roy ... ... for the State Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the evidence of the seizure list witnesses is not supporting the prosecution case. All the petitioners are in custody for almost eleven months and the subject matter of the case is relating to alleged recovery of 41 kgs. 950 gms. of Ganja.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the present stage of the case and certain change in circumstances. Having considered the period of detention and that the prosecution intends to rely on five more witnesses, I am inclined to release the petitioners on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioners is allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioners viz., (1) Manoj Sarkar, (2) Swapan Sarkar & (3) Pintu Talukdar, shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty thousand only) each, 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, 5th Court, Murshidabad at Berhampore.

If on bail, the petitioners 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 Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned Special Court.

The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1087 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. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
