And In the matter of : Chhotan Rabidas ......Petitioner Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ......for the Petitioner.

Ms. Faria Hossain, Ld. APP Ms. Debarshi Brahma ......for the State.

Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that although the present case involves recovery of 309 bottle of phensedyl, so far as the present petitioner is concerned there has been no recovery from the present petitioner and the petitioner has been arrested pursuant to the statement of the co-accused.

Report submitted by the learned advocate for the State be kept with the record. Learned advocate for the State submits that the petitioner is an associate which is reflected from the statement of other co-accused persons. However, no seizure has been effected from the possession of the petitioner.

Having considered the fact that there are no antecedents of the petitioner and there has been no recovery and the petitioner is in custody for 81 days. I am of the view that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner being CRM (NDPS) 1387 of 2025 is allowed.

Petitioner i.e. Chhotan Rabidas shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Special Court under NDPS Act, Balurghat, Dakshin Dinajpur.

If on bail, the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer of this case once in a week till submission of chargesheet. Further the petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Dakshin Dinajpur without informing the learned Trial Court.

In the event, the petitioner fails to comply with any of the conditions as stated above, the learned Trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
