01.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.68 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (NDPS) 1834 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with N. Case No. 34 of 2026 arising out of F. No. S1(VII)-70/2026 (AIU) dated 18.03.2026 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(B)/23(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. And In Re : Ashma Parveen @ Asma Parveen ... Petitioner. Mr. Aniruddha Bhattacharyya, Ms. Anushka Bose, Ms. Rai Das ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Uday Sankar Bhattacharya, Mr. K. K. Maiti ... For the Air Customs Authority. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 2082 grams of Ganja and petitioner is in custody since 18.03.2026. Petitioner prays for bail on any stringent condition. Learned advocate appearing for the Air Customs Authority, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and on a specific query, submits that complaint has been submitted before the jurisdictional Special Court. I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and the quantum of recovery in the present case which is of intermediary quantity. Having 2 regard to the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Barnali Bag Vs. Union of India [Special Leave Petition (Crl.) No. 3641/2026] wherein emphasis was made on intermediate quantity, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Ashma Parveen @ Asma Parveen shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-, with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under the NDPS Act, 8th Court, Barasat. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned Special Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the district of North 24- Parganas without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Additionally, petitioner shall make herself available before the Investigating Officer of the case or the Principal Commissioner, Airport, Air Customs Authority. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1834 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. 3 Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
