Amarjit Kumri @ Guddu v. State Of West Bengal
24.06.2026 Court No.28 Item No.31 tbsr Allowed CRM (A) 1678 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hili P.S. Case No.177 of 2025 dated 04.09.2025 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A/28 of the NDPS Act, 1985. And In the matter of: Amarjit Kumri @ Guddu ....Petitioner.
Mr. Koushik Choudhury Mr. Tridib Das Mr. Dwaipayan Panda ....for the petitioner Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharyya, ld. APP Mr. Somnath Bera ....for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that other than the statement of a co-accused, there is no material available against the present petitioner. Charge sheet has been submitted.
Learned APP 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 conversation to implicate the present petitioner. 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 diary, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner.
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 the Arresting Officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the BNSS, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court within four weeks from this date and pray for bail and shall regularly attend the jurisdictional Court and shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.
