Roujan Bibi @ Raojan Bibi And ANR. v. State Of West Bengal

11.11.2025 Court No.35.

D/L. 45.

Kausik (Allowed) CRM (NDPS) 1416 of 2025 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Bolpur Police Station Case No. 330/24 dated 10.08.2024 under section 20(b)(ii)(c)/25/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985.

And In the matter of : Roujan Bibi @ Raojan Bibi @ Anr. ......Petitioner.

Mr. Saryati Datta Mr. Sanjib Kr. Dan Mr. Chitrak Biswas ......for the Petitioner.

Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya Ms. Ayana Dey ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody for 1 year and 3 months and 196 Kgs. of Ganja were recovered from in front of the house of the petitioners. Additionally it has been submitted that the investigation was concluded, charge sheet submitted, charge framed and out of the proposed 21 witnesses, 9 witnesses have been examined by the prosecution.

Learned advocate prays for bail on any stringent conditions. So far as the petitioners are concerned, as according to him there is no scope or possibility of the trial being concluded in near future.

On the other hand, learned advocate for the State has produced the case diary and submitted that the petitioners along with others are thickly connected with the offences. The

seizure list itself would reflect in respect of the huge quantity of Ganja being seized. Petitioners have also signed the seizure list. There are statements of the local witnesses relating to the commission of the offence.

I have taken into account the materials appearing in the case diary, the period of detention of the accused persons as well as the seizure list and the manner in which seizure was effected from in front of the house of the accused persons. Without going into the merits and details of the case only because of the fact that petitioner no. 1 happens to be a lady and is in custody for a considerable period of time, I am inclined to release the petitioner no. 1 on bail. However, the same advantage cannot be extended to any other accused persons including the petitioner no. 2.

Consequently, the prayer for bail of petitioner no. 2 is rejected.

So far as the petitioner no. 1 namely, Roujan Bibi @ Raojan Bibi is concerned, she shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each. One of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court, NDPS Act, Suri, Birbhum.

If on bail the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed by the learned Trial Court and will not in any manner slow down the progress of the trial since

custodial trial is taking place in respect of the other accused persons.

It is further stated that if the petitioner violates the aforesaid condition, learned Special Court would be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference to this Court. With the aforesaid observations CRM (NDPS) 1416 of 2025 is partly allowed.

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.
