Petitioner(s) Mr. D. Kar ... for the Petitioner(s) Ms. Sonali Das Md. E. Akhter ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated on the basis of recovery of 225 bottles of phensedyl. Learned advocate also submits that the petitioner is in custody for two years and three months and, till date, no witness has been examined, as such, on any stringent condition the petitioner may be released on bail.

Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner, I am of the view that further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted.

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

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Biswajit Kundu shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 6th Court, Barasat, North 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall make himself physically available on each and every date of the trial so fixed by the learned trial court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the trial court.

Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1233 of 2025 is allowed. 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.
