12.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L.321. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 1688 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hili Police Station case no. 184 of 2025 dated 09.09.2025 under Sections 27/27A/27(b)(ii)/21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A/28 of the NDPS Act. And In the matter of : Kartick Chandra Das @ Kartik Das. ……Petitioner. Ms. Busra Khatun Mr. Md. Kaushif Alam .....for the Petitioner. Mr. Bankim Pal ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been implicated in the present case on the basis of the statement of witnesses and accused persons. There has been no recovery from the present petitioner, as such petitioner prays for anticipatory bail. Learned advocate appearing for the State submits that the police report till date reveals that there are no previous antecedents of the present petitioner. The subject matter of the present case relates to recovery of 50 bottles of phensedyl cough syrup and 5000 tablets of Tapantadol. Having regard to the complicity of the present petitioner in respect of the case, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted. Accordingly, the prayer for 2 anticipatory bail of the petitioner namely, Kartick Chandra Das @ Kartik Das is allowed. As such, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. Since, charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 1688 of 2026 is allowed. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
