D/L773 27.08.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (NDPS)1772 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Dhubulia Police Station Case No.87 of 2025 dated 03.03.2025 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/25/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and charge-sheet submitted under Sections 21(c)/25/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Abdus Salam @ Abdul Salam Mondal @ Babu Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Amanul Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee Mr. Quazi Ezaz Ahmed. …for the petitioner. Mr. Kallol Mondal, Ld.P.P. Mr. Anamitra Banerjee Mr. Sreyash Kumar Singh. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 03.03.2025 and since then he is in custody. There has been no progress in the trial of the case and the recovery in the present case is questionable. Learned advocate for the State submits that evidence of the 3rd prosecution witness is in progress. There has been alleged recovery of 4.757 kgs. of heroin. Having considered the quantity of contraband seized, I am of the opinion that the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS has 2 been attracted. Petitioner approached the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.) 2127 of 2026 and the Hon’ble Supreme Court by an order dated 09.02.2026 was pleased to refuse the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Be that as it may, petitioner is in custody for 1 year 5 months. Consequently, the trial court would ensure that at least one witness is completed in a month so that the trial is completed within a reasonable period of time. With the aforesaid observations, CRM(NDPS)1772 of 2026 is dismissed. Memo of Evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record. 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.)
