19.08.2026 Serial no. 622 [G.S.Das] Assistant Registrar (Court) CRM (A) 2626 of 2026 In re : An Application under Section 482 of the BNSS, 2023/under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in connection with Gangarampur PS Case No. 629 of 2025 dated 18.09.2025 u/s 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A/28/29 of the NDPS Act. -And- In the matter of : Rabbani Hossain … Petitioner(s) Mr. Kaushik Choudhury Mr. Dwaipayan Panda … for the petitioner(s) Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, APP Mr. Suman Chakraborty … for the State-respondent(s) The subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 170 bottles of Fairdyl cough syrup and the petitioner has been foisted with the criminal case on the statement of the co-accused. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. However, it has been submitted that another accused has been granted anticipatory bail against whom there are similar type of allegations. Learned advocate also submits 2 that there are no previous antecedents and/or CDR and/or money trail against the present petitioner. Having considered the same, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner [Rabbani Hossain] be released on anticipatory bail subject to the satisfaction of the arresting officer of the case and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. and/or under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the investigation of the case is still in progress, the petitioner shall meet with the investigating officer of the case within 10 days from date and, thereafter, on all subsequent dates as would be fixed by the I.O. of the case. Accordingly, CRM (A) 2626 of 2026 is disposed of. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.) 3
