06.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.38 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 1551 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 corresponding to Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed in connection with Berhampore Police Station Case No. 269 of 2024 dated 22.02.2024 under Sections 21(c)/25/27A/28/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Kamal Uddin ... Petitioner. Mr. Satadru Lahiri, Mr. Priyankar Ganguly, Mr. Amaan Deep Gupta, Ms. Pipasa Chakraborty ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld. PP, Mr. Uttam Basak ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that in spite of the earlier directions passed by this Court on 19.12.2025 in CRM(NDPS) 1275 of 2025, there has been hardly any adherence to the order and till date, only six witnesses have been examined and nine more witnesses are yet to be examined by the prosecution. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the Court to the order passed in respect of another accused on 19.06.2026 in CRM(NDPS) 1023 of 2026. Having considered the same, I am of the opinion that the State would adhere to the time frame which has been provided in the order dated 19.06.2026 in CRM(NDPS) 1023 2 of 2026. In case, the prosecution is unable to complete the evidence of prosecution witnesses by 01.12.2026, learned Trial Court thereafter, on an application for bail on behalf of the petitioner, would release the present petitioner viz. Kamal Uddin on bail on such terms and conditions as it deems fit and proper. Learned Trial Court will also impose conditions for ensuring further appearance of the petitioner before the learned Trial Court. At this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Learned Trial Court would adhere to the directions passed above. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1551 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.)
