In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023/ Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Kulti Police Station Case No. 29 of 2025 dated 14th of January, 2025 under Section 21(C)/25/29 of the NDPS Act, 1985. And In the matter of : Harsh Kumar Burnwal
……Petitioner. Mr. Arnab Chatterjee
Mr. Avik Ghosh
……for the Petitioner. Mr. Amal Kumar Datta Mr. Karan Dudhwewala
……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that earlier directions of this Court did not yield any result and petitioner is in custody for 1 year 6 months. The subject matter of recovery in the present case is 258 Gms. of Heroin and so far as the present petitioner is concerned, 149 Gms. of Heroin were recovered. Rest being recovered from another co-accused. According to the petitioner the Chemical Examiner’s Report reflect presence of Diacetylmorphine (Heroin), 6- Monoacetylmorphine, Morphine-3-acetate, Acetylcodeine, Morphine & Codeine. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail in view of the quantum seized. 2
I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner, the chemical examiner’s report which is recovered by the judgment of Sentu Seikh vs. State of West Bengal (SLP (Crl.) No. 13987/2025) also considering that there is no possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Harsh Kumar Burnwal shall furnish 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 Learned Judge, under NDPS Act, 3rd Court, Asansol, Paschim Bardhaman. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Paschim Bardhaman without the prior permission of the learned Special Court. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1629 of 2026 is allowed. Memo of Evidence submitted 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.
3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
