Imajuddin Mondal v. State Of West Bengal

10.12.2020 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. 10154 of 2020 sl no. 70 In Re : An application for anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Jalangi P.S case no. 21 of 2019 dated 6.1.2019 under sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act And In Re : Imajuddin Mondal ...... petitioner Mr. A Islam ...... for the petitioner Mr. M Sur Mr. D Paramanick ...... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that no narcotic substance was recovered from his possession.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that petitioner is a proclaimed offender and prayer for anticipatory bail of co-accused has been turned down.

Although no narcotic substance was seized from the possession of the petitioner, there are allegations that the petitioner was dealing in narcotic substance. That apart, petitioner had absconded and has been declared proclaimed offender. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the co-accused has also been turned down. Hence, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
