Petitioners.
Mr. Hillol Saha Podder ... for the Petitioner.
Mr. Sourav Ganguly Dr. Arjun Chowdhury ... for the State.
The petitioner is in custody for more than 100 days and prays for bail.
Heard learned counsels for the parties.
Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. Brown sugar of intermediate quantity was recovered from the petitioner and other co-accused. Charge sheet has been submitted.
In view of the above, this Court is inclined to hold that statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act are not attracted herein. Further detention of the petitioner is not required. He may be granted bail.
Accordingly, prayer for bail is allowed.
The petitioner namely Juwell Hoque @ juwel Hoque @ Firujul Hoque be released on bail upon furnishing bond of
Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Cooch Behar subject to condition that the local surety in the present case shall be an individual residing within the jurisdiction of the learned Special Court under the NDPS Act, Cooch Behar and shall deposit the title deed of his property before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Cooch Behar which shall be retained till the completion of the trial. In case the petitioner evades the process of law, the property would be forfeited. The petitioner shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.
In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions as stated above without justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.
The application for bail is thus disposed of. Case Diary be returned.
All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
