AD 42 February 20, 2026 Ct. 28 SG CRM(A) 304 of 2026 Reject An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kaliachak P.S. Case No.1625 of 2025 dated 17.09.2025 under Sections 21(b)/27(A)/29 of the NDPS ACT, 1985. And In the matter of:Shyamal Mondal @ Shyamal Mandal … petitioner Ms. Khushi Mollick Ms. Esha Basak … for the petitioner Mr. Sanjay Banerjee Mr. Raju Mondal … for the State Report filed by the State is taken on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the only material available against the petitioner is a statement of a co- accused. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that other than the statement of a co- accused, there is a criminal antecedent against the present petitioner involving offences under the NDPS Act. Considering the above, the other incriminating materials available in the case diary and the restrictions contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act, I do not consider this to be a fit case for granting anticipatory bail. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of requisite formalities.
