(NDPS)1552 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Kaliachak Police Station Case No.1462 of 2025 dated 21.08.2025 under Sections 22(c)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Rintu Sk Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Joy Chakraborty Ms. Ipsita Ghosh. …for the petitioner. Mr. Ansuman Bera. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 11 months and till date charges have not been framed. There is no possibility of the trial to be taken to its logical conclusion, as such, the petitioner may be released on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I direct the learned trial court to split up the trial of the case if there is an absconding accused and thereafter overcome the stage of consideration of charges. Priority be given for examination of the independent seizure list witnesses. Petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the independent seizure list witnesses are over. 2 At this stage, CRM(NDPS)1552 of 2026 is dismissed. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
