Ajrail Sk @ Raju And ANR v. State Of West Bengal

18.05.2023 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (NDPS) 1003 of 2023 sl no.3 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Beldanga PS case no. 540 of 2021 dated 14.10.2021 under sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act And In Re : Ajrail Sk @ Raju & Anr.

........ petitioners Mr. S Hasin ...... for the petitioner Ms. Anasuya Sinha Mr. P K Mitra ...... for the State Heard learned lawyer for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. 25 bottles of phensedyl syrup containing codeine phosphate was recovered from the petitioners. Charges have been framed.

Under such circumstances and in view of the statutory restrictions under section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected.

However, we direct the trial court to conclude the trial by fixing schedules at regular intervals preferably within one year from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. Parties shall communicate this order to the trial court for necessary compliance.
