08.07.2026 Serial no. 354 [G.S.D] CRM (NDPS) 1440 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with C Case No. 7 of 2025 arising out of Bolpur PS Case No. 74 of 2025 dated 13.02.2025 u/s 20(b)(ii)(c)/25/29 of the NDPS Act. -And- In the matter of : Ranjan Sen … Petitioner(s) Mr. Sanjib Kumar Dan … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Sagar Saha Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the alleged recovery in the present case is 70 kg of ganja. Although, charge-sheet has been submitted; charges have been framed but no witness till date has been examined and the petitioner is unnecessarily languishing in jail for one year five months. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the quantum of seizure which do attract the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, as such, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. 2 The learned trial court would take steps so that the evidence of the seizure list witnesses is complete within a period of three months from the next date fixed before the learned trial court. The petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the aforesaid time period is over. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1440 of 2026 is dismissed. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
