Samim Mallick v. State Of West Bengal

18.12.2025 Serial no. 681 [G.S.D] CRM (NDPS) 1345 of 2025 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Airport Police Station Case No. 444 of 2021 dated 29th November, 2021 u/s 21(c)/28/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985.

-AndIn the matter of : Samim Mallick ... ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Arnab Chatterjee ... for the Petitioner(s) Ms. Anasuya Sinha, ld. APP Ms. Suchismita Dutta ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocated for the petitioner prays for bail on the ground that the petitioner is in custody for three years and eleven months.

Learned advocate for the State has, on the other hand, pointed out that in CRM (NDPS) 1192 of 2025, this court by an order dated 10.12.2025 was pleased to pass directions in respect of the another accused. The directions passed therein are as follows:

"

However, it is directed that the learned trial court would after 15th February, 2026 within a month complete the examination of the accused persons under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. and pronounce the verdict by 31st March, 2026. This is subject to the undertaking given before this Court by the learned senior advocate appearing for the petitioner that no defence witness will be examined on behalf of the petitioner. The aforesaid directions would be followed by the learned special court. If the aforesaid conditions are strictly adhered to by all the accused persons, the learned trial court, if for other reasons the directions cannot be complied with, will release the

petitioner on bail on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper for ensuring further appearance of the accused." The same directions would apply to the present petitioner in this case, as such, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected.

Accordingly, CRM(NDPS) 1345 of 2025 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon'ble High Court, Calcutta.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
