15.07.2026 Court No.35. D/L.37. Rakib (Rejected) CRM (NDPS) 1045 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Lalgola Police Station case no. 510 of 2022 dated 28.12.2022 under Sections 21(C) of the NDPS Act and under Section 14 of the Foreigners Act. And In the matter of : Alamin Seikh @ Md. Alamin Seikh @ Allamin Seikh ……Petitioner. Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. Avik Ghosh Ms. Ankusha Ghosh .....for the Petitioner. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, Ld. APP Mr. Sunil Gupta ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for three years six months and the subject matter of the case relate to alleged recovery of 151 bottles of phensedyl. It has also been contended that till date only one witness has been examined out of the six witnesses cited by the prosecution. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, learned Additional Public Prosecutor along with Mr. Sunil Gupta 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 and submits that case is not only under the NDPS Act but also under the Foreigners Act. 2 Having considered the same, I am not inclined to release the petitioner bail. However, an accused cannot be kept indefinitely behind the bars, as such the learned trial Court would ensure that all the witnesses are examined within a period of six months. In the alternative, if an application for bail is filed after the aforesaid schedule, the learned trial Court will leniently consider the prayer for bail of the present petitioner. With the aforesaid observations CRM (NDPS) 1045 of 2026 is dismissed at this stage. Memo of evidence and the Chemical Examiner’s Report submitted by the State 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.)
