29.05.2026 Item No.81 Court No.7 Allowed (Vacation Bench) sg C.R.M. (NDPS) 1150 of 2026 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 read with Section 439 of the Cr.P.C., in connection with N 42 of 2026, NDPS/1526/26 arising out of F.No.-SI(VII)-82/2026(AIU) dated 28.03.2026 complaint regarding the commission of offences under Section 20(b) and Section 23(a) read with Section 8 of the NDPS Act. And In the matter of : Ranjeet …. Petitioner Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S.S. Jana …for the Petitioner Mr. Vipul Kundalia, Sr. Adv. Mr. Tapan Bhanja Mr. Anindya Kanan Mr. Gourab Karmakar ...for the Customs authority The allegation against the petitioner is that 3020 grams of ganja was recovered from the possession of the present petitioner. The petitioner is in custody for 62 days and as such, he may be released on bail on any terms and conditions. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf on the Air Customs opposes the bail prayer and contended that the investigation is still in progress. Having heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and also considering the quantity of contraband substance involved in the present case and that the petitioner is in custody for about 62 days, I find that further detention of the petitioner will not yield any fruitful result and, therefore, the prayer for bail is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner namely, Ranjeet, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.20,000/- with two registered sureties of Rs. 10,000/-each, of which one must be local, subject to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, North 24 Parganas and also on condition that the accused person shall not mis-use the liberty granted by this Court and he shall not tamper with any evidence orally or documentary during the trial. He shall not leave the jurisdiction of trial court without taking leave from trial court. He shall not absent himself on any day during trial and shall not commit any offence while on bail. He shall give his mobile phone number to the local police station and shall not change it without prior permission of the trial court and he shall not in any manner try to delay the trial. Be it mentioned in case of violation of any of the conditions as above, the trial court will be at liberty to cancel the bail without making any further reference to this court. Be it further mentioned, that anything said herein shall not be construed as an expression of opinion on the merit of the case. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1150 of 2026 is disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, duly applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities. 2 (Dr. Ajoy Kumar Mukherjee, J.) 3
