Barun Das v. State Of West Bengal

29.06.2026 Ct. 35/sl 201 CRM (NDPS) 1204 of 2026 tkm In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Murshidabad PS case no. 472 of 2025 dated 21.05.2025 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/29 of the NDPS Act. And In Re : Barun Das ........ petitioner Dismissed Mr. Tapadip Gupta Ms. Usashi Chattopadhyay Mr. Golam Ahamed ..... for the petitioner Mr. Brajesh Jha Mrs. Ananya Chakraborty ..... for the State 1.

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the subject matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 31.4 kgs of ganja. The said recovery was from a house which does not belong to the petitioner and the petitioner has been implicated on the basis of the statement of co-accused. Petitioner is in custody for seven months and eleven days and further detention will not improve the prosecution case. As such petitioner prays for bail on any stringent condition. 2.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the recovery was from a house which was in the occupation of the petitioner and the seizure list would reflect the same. It has also been pointed out that anticipatory bail of the petitioner was rejected by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court and the other accused persons are in custody.

3.

Having considered the various factors involved in the present case including the seizure relating to commercial

quantity I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. However, petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after evidence of the seizure list witnesses is over. 4.

Accordingly CRM (NDPS) 1204 of 2026 is dismissed. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
