16.01.2026 Sl. No.46 NB CRM (A) 4298 of 2025 In Re:- An application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Azimganj GRPS PS Case No.11/2025 dated 25.06.2025 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985. And In the matter of: Akbar Ali … petitioner Mr. Tapodip Gupta …for the petitioner. Mr. Rudradipta Nandy, Mr. Parvej Anam. ..for the State. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that other than the statement of a co-accused, there is no other incriminating material available against the present petitioner. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that other than the materials available in the case diary, there are phone call records about conversations between the petitioner and the principal accused at the relevant time. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the restriction 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 copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities. (Jay Sengupta, J.) 2
