AD 47 July 15, 2026 Ct. 35 SG CRM(NDPS) 1059 of 2026 Dismissed An application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with N 42/25 arising out of NCB Crime No.03/NCB/Kol/2025 under Sections 21(C)/23(a)/29 of the NDPS Act. And In the matter of: Pradip Halder … petitioner Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S.S. Saha … for the petitioner Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das Mr. Praloy Bhattacharjee … for the NCB Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 1 year 6 months. Out of 8 witnesses cited in the charge-sheet, till date one witness has been examined. Learned advocate appearing for the NCB opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the petitioner is the owner of the truck and was available at the truck when he was intending to supply phensedyl bottles across the border. Having considered the complicity and consciousness of the petitioner and having regard to Sections 35 and 37 of the NDPS Act, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Thus, CRM(NDPS) 1059 of 2026 is dismissed. 2 Learned trial court is directed to expedite the process of trial and complete the seizure list witnesses on priority basis. Report filed by the NCB be kept on record. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly 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 of requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
