And In the matter of : Mahadev Mallick. ……Petitioner. Mr. Raja Mukherjee ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Rajdeep Mazumdar, Ld. DSGI Ms. Arushi Rathore ……for the NCB. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for about seven months and he has been implicated in the present case on the basis of the statement of co- accused. The subject matter of involvement in the present case is of 20 kgs 800 grams. Learned DSGI appearing on behalf of the NCB submits that charges have already been framed. There are materials appearing in the Case Diary wherein bank transactions are available between the petitioner and the accused from whom seizure has been made. Having regard to the quantity of seizure in the present case which is just above commercial quantity and the period of detention of the present petitioner, I am of the view that further detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 Accordingly, petitioner namely, Mahadev Mallick shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs. 10,000 (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Special Court under NDPS Act, City Sessions Court, Calcutta. If on bail, shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Kolkata without the prior permission of the learned Special Court and for a period of next three months the petitioner shall meet with the investigating officer or any officer deputed by the Superintendent of Police, Narcotic Control Bureau. Petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned trial Court. If there are any violations of the aforesaid conditions, the learned trial Court/Special Court will be at liberty to cancel the bail without further reference of this Court. With the aforesaid observations, the prayer for bail in CRM (NDPS) 376 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
