(NDPS) 1320 of 2023 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 21.07.2023 in connection with Kaliachak Police Station Case No.1006 of 2020 dated 08.12.2020 under Sections 22(c)/29 of the NDPS Act. (NDPS Case No.94 of 2020) And In Re: Sakiul Sk.

... ... Petitioner Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Sanjay Bardhan Ms. Baisakhi Chatterjee ... ... for the State Petitioner renews his prayer for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merits. We have considered the materials on record. Time frame proposed to conclude the trial has not expired. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion petitioner has not been able to make out a case for consideration of his prayer for bail either on merits or on the ground of delay in trial. Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is thus rejected.
