25.08.2026 Serial no. 778 [G.S.Das] Assistant Registrar (Court) CRM (NDPS) 1760 of 2026 In re : An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 in connection with NDPS Case No. 24 of 2025 arising out of Hastings PS Cse No. 40 of 2025 dated 19.04.2025 u/s 20(b)(ii)(c)/25/27/27A/29 of the NDPS Act. -And- In the matter of : Ashes Biswas … Petitioner(s) Mr. Satadru Lahiri Mr. Joy Chakraborty … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Gouranga Kr. Das, ld. APP Mr. Narayan Debnath … for the State-respondent(s) The petitioner was arrested on 31st January, 2026 and since then he is in custody. The petitioner claims innocence and mentions the vindictive attitude on behalf of the I.O. of the case. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail as there has been alleged recovery of more than 40 kg of ganja. Learned advocate accentuates that a part of the recovery was associated with a place where the petitioner and his son is attached and emphasizes that the continuity and consequences of such complicity of the present petitioner attract the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS Act in view of the provisions of Section 29 of the NDPS Act. 2 Having considered the same, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Rejected. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1760 of 2026 is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, is also disposed of. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
