The gist of the allegation in the FIR dated 05.07.2026 is that information was received at the Fakirganj Police Station in the District of Dhubri about selling of narcotic drugs in the area by a peddler. Accordingly, GD Entry was made and an operation was initiated. Subsequently, upon certain suspicions, the accused-applicant was detained and after search, psychotropic substances in the nature of 7 (seven) strips of Acetaminophen, Tramadol Hydroclroride and Dicyclomine Hydrocloride Capsules (Senspas +) and 2 (two) strips of Nitrazepam (Nitracare) tablets were recovered, whose total weight was 42.76 gms.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor fairly submits that there has been substantial progress in investigation, however, the investigation implicates the petitioner. 6. The FSL Report is awaited. 7. The Medical Report annexed with the Case Diary regarding examination of the victim indicates noting of the doctor about the patient having a history of taking some unknown pills. 8. Despite the implication, considering the progress of investigation; the length of detention and also an aspect emerging which indicates the accused- Page No.# 3/3 applicant to be himself a subject of addiction; I am of the considered view that bail should be considered at this stage, subject to suitable conditions. 9. Accordingly, he is allowed to go on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 30,000/- (rupees thirty thousand) with one suitable surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned Court (learned Special Judge, Dhubri) and subject to the following conditions : (i) He shall cooperate with the remaining investigation; (ii) He shall not hamper or tamper with evidence; (iii) He shall not in any manner try to influence witnesses; (iv) He shall not indulge in any activities, violative of the NDPS Act; and (v) In case, the accused-applicant has been suffering from any kind of drug addiction, he shall do the needful with the help of his guardians and family members for taking rehabilitation. 10.
