06.08.2026 Court No.35. D/L. 20. Kausik (Rejected) CRM (NDPS) 1493 of 2026 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 NCB Crime No. 21/NCB/KOL/2024 under Section 21(c)/25 and 29 of the NDPS Act, 1985. And In the matter of : Sirajuddin Mondal & Anr. ……Petitioners. Mr. Souvik Mitter Mr. Joy Chakraborty Mr. Sandip Dinda ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Arun Kumar Maiti (Mohanty) Mr. R.R. Mohanty ……for the NCB. The subject matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 8765 bottles of Phensedyl and the petitioner is in custody for 1 year and 7 months. There is already a direction in respect of another accused person which was referred to by the NCB and was passed in connection with CRM (NDPS) 1134 of 2026. There has been a subsequent event and the stage of consideration of charges are over. Dates have been fixed on 07.08.2026 and 10.08.2026 for examination of the seizing officer. Having considered the stage of the case, I direct the learned Trial Court to complete the evidence of the seizing officers within a period of 3 months. If, after the evidence of the 2 seizing officers, the learned Trial Court is of the opinion that there is dilution in the prosecution, learned Trial Court would not hesitate to release the petitioner on bail. However, at this stage, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM (NDPS) 1493 of 2026 is dismissed. Report submitted by the NCB 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.)
