D/L23 17.08.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (NDPS)1651 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Jhargram Police Station Case No.144 of 2025 dated 11.05.2025 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Arun Kewat Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Abhishek Verma Mrs. Atulya Sinha Verma Mr. Swaraj Naskar. …for the petitioner. Mr. Sagar Saha Ms. Nayana Mukhopadhyay. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for more than 1 year 3 months and although there has been recovery of 255 kgs. of cannabis as a whole but so far as the present petitioner is concerned, the recovery is 22.1 kgs. Earlier, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected in CRM(NDPS)72 of 2026. Petitioner submits that there has been no progress in the case since the last rejection and unnecessarily petitioner is detained in custody. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that huge quantity of contraband has been recovered in the present case. On assessment of submission advanced by the learned 2 advocates for the parties, I find that there is no change in circumstance. As such, CRM(NDPS)1651 of 2026 is rejected. Learned trial court would expedite the process of seizure list witnesses. 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.)
