M AHMED, MR A HAI,A RAHMAN Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJEEV KUMAR SHARMA ORDER Date : 31.08.2026 Heard Mr. M. Ahmed, learned counsel for the petitioner and K. Baishya, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, Assam, appearing for the State respondent. This is an application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 for granting regular bail to the petitioner, namely, Al-Amin Khan @ Alamin Khan, in connection with Howly P.S. Case No. 94/2026, registered under Sections 21(b)/ 29 of the NDPS Act. Page No.# 2/2 The allegation against the petitioner is that upon receipt of a secret information police conducted a Naka Checking at the Howly Swahid Bedi Point and apprehended one motor vehicle carrying the present petitioner and the co- accused and upon search one soap containing 12.23 grams of heroin excluding the soap was recovered from the possession of the petitioner. The case has been investigated and charge sheeted. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that charge sheet having been filed, the detention of the petitioner is no longer necessary and having regard to the period of detention for about 72 days, the prayer for bail may be allowed. The learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand opposes the bail application on the ground that the trial of the case is yet to commence and releasing the petitioner on bail at this stage jeopardize the trial. Having regard to the incriminating materials available in the case diary wherefrom it appears that the petitioner is involved in the sale of narcotic drugs and the seriousness of the drug menace that is affecting the society, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of bail merely on account of the period of detention undergone. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Return the case dairy. The bail application is dismissed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
