And In the matter of : Odud Sk ……Petitioner. Mr. Satadru Lahiri Mr. Anwar Hossain Ms. Benajir Hasna Mr. Aliul Islam .....for the Petitioner. Mr. Gauranga Kr. Das, Ld. APP Mr. Rajesh Kr. Shah ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the alleged recovery in the present case is 1.200 kgs of heroin and the petitioner is in custody for one year 11 months, charge-sheet has been submitted, 16 witnesses have been relied upon out of which till date 3 witnesses have been examined. It has been canvassed that out of 3 witnesses examined two of the seizure list witnesses have turned hostile. Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das, learned Additional Public Prosecutor along with Mr. Rajesh Kr. Shah are appearing for the State. Their appointments may be regularized by the concerned authorities. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail, in view of the quantum of seizure having been made. 2 However, having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner and the time which will be required to take the trial to its logical conclusion and also the evidence of the independent witnesses’ deposing otherwise, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. As such, the petitioner, namely, Odud Sk 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 Judge, Special Court (under NDPS Act), 2nd Court, Berhampore, Murshidabad. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Murshidabad without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Thus, CRM (NDPS) No. 1032 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of the evidence submitted by the State and copy of depositions submitted by the petitioner be kept with the record. 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.)
