D/L10 09.06.2026 Bpg. Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 539 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with N.327 of 2025 arising out of NDPS/5667/2025 inter alia arising out of Kolkata Zonal Unit Vide crime number No.20/NCB/KOL/2025 dated 07.11.2025 under Sections 8 (c) read with 20(b)(ii)(B), 23(b) and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Rehan Suleman Mansuri @ Rehan Mansuri Versus Union of India & Anr. Mr. Akash Ganguly Mr. Abhishek Mukherjee Mr. Amaan Deep Gupta. …for the petitioner. Mr. Arun Kumar Maiti (Mohanty) Mr. Somnath Adhikary. …for the NCB/Union of India. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation of recovery in this case from the petitioner is 4.171 kgs. of contraband. Petitioner was intercepted at the Kolkata Airport on 07.11.2025 and since then he is in custody. The prosecution has relied upon 8 witnesses in order to prove its case. Till date only charges have been framed and witness action is yet to commence. Learned advocate for the NCB opposes the prayer for bail 2 and submits that the petitioner is a resident of Maharashtra, charges have already been framed, there is every possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time and it has been emphasized that the petitioner is a part of organized group who are using the Kolkata Airport as a corridor. Having considered that the intermediate quantity of contraband was recovered from the present petitioner and the facts of the case being similarly placed as Barnali Bag Vs. Union of India (Special Leave Petition (Crl.) No.3641 of 2026), I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. The petitioner, namely, Rehan Suleman Mansuri @ Rehan Mansuri shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, both of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court, under NDPS Act, Barasat. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed by the learned special court and shall not leave the district of 24 Parganas (North) without prior permission of the learned special court. The petitioner shall also once in a fortnight meet with the investigating officer of the case or any other officer deputed by the Superintendent of the Narcotic Control Bureau till further orders of this Court. Accordingly, CRM(NDPS) 539 of 2026 is allowed. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance of all requisite formalities.
