Mr. Tapan Bhanja Mr. Dhirodatto Chaudhuri … for the DRI Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for about 117 days and complaint has been filed before the learned jurisdictional court. Learned advocate added that the other accused persons from whom seizure has been effected have been granted bail. Mr. Kundalia, Learned Senior advocate for the DRI, opposes the prayer for bail on the ground that there are Call Data Records associated with the present petitioner from whom seizure has been effected and financial transactions in respect of the present petitioner have also been unearthed. 2 I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that there has been no seizure from the present petitioner. Having regard to the quantum of recovery and the fact that the other accused person are on bail and complaint has been submitted, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Rahul Karmakar 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 Additional District and Sessions Judge, 8th Court, Barasat, North 24 Parganas-cum-Special Court under NDPS Act. If on bail, the petitioner shall also make himself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned Special Court/trial court and shall not leave the district of North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned Special court/trial court. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1051 of 2026 is allowed. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. 3 Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
