03.09.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.57 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 1885 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 corresponding to Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Mothabari Police Station Case No. 154 of 2026 dated 28.02.2026 under Sections 21(c)/27A/29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Golam Mustafa @ Mostafa ... Petitioner. Mr. Abhimanyu Banerjee, Mr. Arnab Saha, Mr. Abdul Nooman ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Gouranga Kumar Das, APP, Ms. Tanusree Kar ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that although the subject-matter of the present case relates to alleged recovery of 4.649 kgs. of Opium, but the same was recovered from another accused person and petitioner has been implicated on the basis of statement of co-accused. Learned advocate appearing for the State, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there are criminal antecedents of the present petitioner. Memo of Evidence submitted on behalf of the State reflects that petitioner was an accused in Gazole P.S. Case No. 1147 of 2025 and Siliguri P.S. (PNT OP) Case No. 207 of 2023 and both the said cases are under the provisions of the NDPS Act; while on bail, the present case has been registered against the present petitioner. 2 Having considered the antecedents of the present petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Memo of Evidence submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. A copy of the same be handed over to learned advocate appearing for the petitioner. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 1885 of 2026, is, thus, dismissed. 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.)
