31.08.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.96 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Allowed C.R.M. (A) 2850 of 2026 In Re : An Application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Krishnaganj Police Station Case No. 311 of 2026 dated 07.07.2026 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(b)/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Tapas Biswas @ Naksal ... Petitioner. Mr. Prabir Majumder, Mr. Snehansu Majumder, Ms. Anindita Kundu ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Krishnendu Bhattacharya, APP, Ms. Priti Kar Bagchi ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the alleged recovery was from another accused and the same was to the tune of 7.1 kgs. of Ganja. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. On a specific query of this Court, learned advocate for the State has not been able to satisfy regarding the availability of any previous antecedent or CDR or money trail so far as the present petitioner is concerned. The evidence available against the present petitioner relates to statement of co-accused. Having considered the same, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioner. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is allowed. 2 Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner viz., Tapas Biswas @ Naksal shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. As the charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court, this order of anticipatory bail will remain in force for a period of six weeks from date. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for anticipatory bail, being CRM (A) 2850 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. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
