Page No.# 2/3 has been in custody since 23.11.2025 in connection with North Guwahati P.S. Case No. 107/2025 under Sections 21(C) and 29 of the NDPS Act, arising out of Amingaon OP GDE No. 267 dated 23.11.2025.
3. An FIR was lodged on 23.11.2025 by SI(P) Sri Dinesh Chutia of Amingaon Out Post, alleging that based on secret information regarding the transportation of narcotics from Manipur to the Lower Assam districts by a Renault Kwid (registration no. AS-01 FB 7240) and a Tata Altroz, the police team stopped the Renault Kwid vehicle at Naka checking. On being questioned about the other vehicle, i.e. Tata Altroz vehicle, they stated the Altroz was heading towards Barpeta, via Amingaon. Accordingly, police was alerted and the Altroz was intercepted in Amingaon. During the search of both the vehicles, 50 boxes/PLTs of suspected heroin weighing 970 grams were recovered from secret compartments located under the Tata Altroz vehicle. The accused/applicants were subsequently arrested and they remained in custody since then.
4. The learned counsel for the accused/applicants submits that the narcotics were not recovered from their possession and that the accused/applicants were arrested on the basis of suspicion. He further submits that the accused/applicants have already spent 87 days in custody and prays that they may be released on bail at this stage.
5. The case diary in the instant case has been produced before this court.
6. This court has perused the materials brought on record and heard the
submissions of the counsel appearing for the respective parties. Having found prima facie materials against the accused/applicants regarding their involvement in the offences narrated in the FIR, this court is not inclined to
Page No.# 3/3 grant any relief to the accused/applicants at this stage. Accordingly, the bail application is dismissed.
