30.09.2022 Sl. 27 Dd rejected CRM (A) 4725 of 2022 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Patiram Police Station Case No. 169 of 2022 dated 01.09.2022 under Sections 21C/22C/23C/27A of the NDPS Act.

And In Re : Utpal Barman ..... petitioner Mr. Manojit Bhattacharyya, ... for the petitioner Mr. Ranadeb Roychowdhury ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that no narcotic substance was recovered from the possession of the petitioner.

Learned lawyer for the state opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statement of a villager implicates the petitioner in the business of narcotics.

Under such circumstances, custodial interrogation is necessary and this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to him.

Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
