Saheb Haque v. State Of West Bengal

27.11.2025

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA

Item No.124 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc.

Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 961 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Kandi Police Station Case No. 503 of 2024 dated 26.10.2024 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

And In Re : Saheb Haque ... Petitioner.

Mr. Jisan Iqubal Hossain ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Bitasok Banerjee, Ms. Rituparna Saha ... For the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner along with others have been implicated in connection with the instant case and petitioner is in custody for 13 months. It has also been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that in spite of such period of detention, till date there has been no progress in the case and as such, petitioner is unnecessarily languishing in jail.

Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that seizure has been effected from the present petitioner and next date has been fixed for consideration of charges.

Having considered the quantum of seizure, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

However, the learned Trial Court would take steps for consideration of charges and expedite the subsequent trial. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 961 of 2025, 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.
