dismissed C.R.M. (NDPS) 1477 of 2025 In Re: An application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 439 of the Criminal Procedure, 1973filed in connection with Tapan Police Station Case No.150 of 2025 dated 08.03.2025 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Narayan Biswas @ Bisu @ Raj

Versus

The State of West Bengal Mr. Kaushik Choudhury Mr. Dwaipayan Panda.

...for the petitioner.

Mr. Avishek Sinha Mr. Asif Dewan.

...for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 10 months and he has been implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused and there has been no recovery so far as the present petitioner is concerned. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there are call data records and the vehicle which has been seized for the purpose of transhipment of the contraband belongs to the present petitioner. The Nodal Officer in the present case has been cited as prosecution witness.

Having considered the complicity of the present petitioner, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

Accordingly, CRM(NDPS)1477 of 2025 is dismissed.

State is directed to take steps for splitting up the trial of the case so that the charges are framed within 60 days from the next date so fixed.

Petitioner would renew his prayer for bail at the appropriate stage.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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 of all requisite formalities.
