And In the matter of: Tarak Saha and Anr.

...... petitioner Mr. Aditi Shankar Chakraborty, Ld. APP ...... for the State None appears on behalf of the petitioners nor is any adjournment prayed for even in the second call. The matter had been earlier adjourned on 04 December, 2024, 17 December, 2024, 24 December, 2024 and 2 January, 2025 respectively.

Pirma facie, it appears that the petitioner is neither diligent nor serious in proceeding with this application for bail. It is also obvious that the petitioner is attempting to forum shop. In view of repeated non-appearance of the petitioner, CRM (NDPS) 532 of 2024 stands dismissed for default. (Ravi Krishan Kapur, J.) (Uday Kumar, J.)
