Maninur Sardar v. State Of West Bengal

05.12.2025 Sl. No.11 Ct. 28 NB C.R.M. (A) 3538 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Basirhat PS Case No.904/2025 dated 24.09.2025 under Sections 21(c)/25/27 and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

And In the matter of:- Maninur Sardar ....petitioner Mr. Avik Pramanick.

....for the petitioner.

Mr. Arindam Sen, Mr. Subhajit Chowdhury.

...for the State.

Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

Perused the case diary.

It appears that the house under construction from where the contraband was seized belonged to the petitioner's father. After his demise, the petitioner, and his brother and mother inherited the same. As per the statements of the brother and the mother of the petitioner as well as the neighbour, the petitioner is the one who was in possession of the building.

Considering the incriminating materials available in the case diary including the seizure list and the statements of witnesses and the restriction contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail to the present petitioner.

The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. (A) 3538 of 2025 is, thus, rejected.

Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
