29.07.2026 Serial no. 44 [G.S.D] CRM (NDPS) 1326 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with Raiganj PS Case No. 271 of 2026 dated 12.03.2026 u/s 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act read with 25(i)(a) Arms Act [Spl. NDPS case no. 18 of 2026]. -And- In the matter of : Rahul Roy @ Babai … … Petitioner(s) Mr. J. I. Hossain … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das, ld. APP Mr. Amal Kumar Datta … for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated on the foundation of alleged recovery of 25 bottles of phensedyl as also under the Arms Act. The petitioner is in custody for more than four months and charge-sheet has already been submitted. Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das, learned APP, appears for the State along with a junior of his choice as per the direction of this court. The appointment of both Mr. Das and the junior of his choice, if any, be regularized by the concerned authority. Learned advocate for the Sate opposes the prayer for bail and submits a report which do not reflect any criminal antecedent of the present petitioner. Having considered the overall circumstances and the fact that there is no scope of the trial commencing very soon 2 as time has been prayed for submission of Supplementary Charge-sheet, I am of the opinion that further custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Rahul Roy @ Babai 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 Judge, Special Court (NDPS Act), Raiganj, Uttar Dinajpur. 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 Uttar Dinajpur without prior permission of the learned Special Court/trial court. Additionally, as the investigation is in progress, the petitioner for the next six months would meet with the police personnel assigned by the Inspector-in- charge/Officer-in-charge of Raiganj Police Station. However, it would be the discretion of the learned Special Court either to extend and/or waive the conditions subsequently on the expiry of the aforesaid period. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1326 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. 3 Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
