Majnu Sarkar @ Majunu Sarkar v. State Of West Bengal

16.01.2026 Sl. No.33 NB CRM (A) 4279 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 Patiram PS Case No.10/2023 dated 20.01.2023 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A of the NDPS Act.

And In the matter of: Majnu Sarkar @ Majunu Sarkar ... petitioner Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya, Mr. Soumadip Saha.

...for the State.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that apart from the statement of a co-accused, which is inadmissible in evidence, there is no other material available against the present petitioner.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State files a report, which is taken on record. He opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that as per the statement of a co-accused, the petitioner was there at the spot, but fled away. Besides other materials, there is a criminal antecedent of the petitioner involving offences under the NDPS Act.

Considering the above and the fact that the petitioner has a criminal antecedent involving offences under the NDPS Act, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail. The application for anticipatory bail 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.
