29.07.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.98 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 1519 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kaliachak Police Station Case No. 30 of 2026 dated 06.01.2026 under Sections 21(c)/27A/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Md. Dilshad @ Md. Dilshad Sk. ... Petitioner. Mr. Mrityunjoy Chatterjee, Ms. Suchismita Chakraborty ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Amitabha Karmakar, Mr. Saswata Chatterjee ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 76 bottles of Eskuf Cough Syrup and petitioner is in custody for about seven months. It has been submitted that prosecution has relied upon 10 witnesses in order to prove its case and there is no possibility of the trial concluding in near future. As such, petitioner prays for bail. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the initial recovery was from the present petitioner. Be that as it may, having considered that the petitioner is already in custody for seven months and till date, the trial has not commenced, I am of the opinion that some time will be required to take the trial to its logical conclusion and as there is no antecedent of the present 2 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., Md. Dilshad @ Md. Dilshad Sk. 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, 3rd 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. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1519 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
