Abdul Haque @ Houqe @ Babu v. State Of West Bengal

01.12.2025 Court No.28 Item No.11 ssi CRM (A) 3327 of 2025 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Murshidabad PS Case No.566 of 2025 dated 15.06.2025 under Sections 20 (b) (ii) B/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of: Abdul Haque @ Houqe @ Babu ....Applicant/Petitioner.

Mr. Ashok Das Md. Golam Nure Imrohi Mr. P. P. Sinha ...for the petitioner Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya Mr. Sobhan Gani ..for the State Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the only material available against the present petitioner is the statement of a co-accused. The contraband is below commercial quantity.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, he submits that there are no criminal antecedents or phone call record to implicate the petitioner. Considering the above, the materials available in the case diary, the fact that the only material available against the petitioner is the statement of a co-accused and that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed.

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 conditions that the petitioner shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses. The petitioner shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
