And In Re : Tarikul Islam @ Saddam ... Petitioner. Md. Wasim Akram, Ms. Sabrina Parveen ... For the Petitioner. Mr. L. Vishal Kumar, Ms. Shalini Bairagi ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 170 days and charge- sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court. The subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 609 grams of Brown Sugar. However, there has been no recovery from the present petitioner and he has been implicated on the basis of statement of co- accused. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail, but is unable to refute the contention of the petitioner that the materials presently appearing against the petitioner is based on verbal statement of witnesses including the accused. Having considered the complicity of the present petitioner as is reflected from the records and there being no 2 criminal antecedent of the present petitioner, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Tarikul Islam @ Saddam shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act, 4th Court, Malda. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Special Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of Malda without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1257 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of.
