Subhankar Debnath And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

02.02.2026 Court No.35.

M/L. 25.

Kausik (Rejected) CRM (NDPS) 1232 of 2025 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Gaighata Police Station Case No. 778 of 2024 dated 28.08.2024 under Sections 21(C)/25/28/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985.

And In the matter of : Subhankar Debnath & Anr.

......Petitioners.

Mr. Debasish Kar Mr. Arka Tilak Bhadre Mr. Hussain Mustafa Ms. S. Perveen Ms. Paramita Mukherjee ......for the Petitioner.

Mr. Joydeep Roy, Jr. Govt. Adv.

Ms. Afreen Begum ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits petitioner happens to be Khalashi/helper of the vehicle from where there has been recovery of contraband and the petitioner is in custody since 28.08.2024.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the records collected reflect that the petitioner is the owner of the vehicle.

Having considered that the Hon'ble Supreme Court has granted one year time to an accused who has preferred an

application for concluding the trial, I am of the view the same principle would apply to the present case.

Having considered that there has been recovery of 27,600 bottles of Phensedyl, CRM (NDPS) 1232 of 2025 is dismissed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
