07.09.2026 Court No.35. M/L.115. Rakib (Allowed) CRM (A) 970 of 2026 In Re: An Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Hili Police Station case no. 184 of 2025 dated 08.09.2025 under Sections 21(b)/22(b)/23(b)/27A/28 of the NDPS Act, 1985. And In the matter of : Subal Das @ Sufal Das ……Petitioner. Mr. Kaushik Choudhury ......for the Petitioner. Mr. L. Vishal Kumar Ms. Nabanita Chatterjee ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been foisted with the present criminal case on the basis of statement of co-accused and there has been no recovery from the present petitioner. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that 95 bottles of phensegrip were recovered in the present case. On a subsequent query, learned advocate for the State submits that there are no antecedents reflected from the report/memo of evidence. So far as the present case is concerned, State fails to satisfy regarding the CDR and money trail. Having regard to the overall circumstances, I am of the opinion that custodial detention of the present petitioner may not be 2 warranted. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the present petitioner namely, Subal Das @ Sufal Das is allowed. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer on such terms and conditions as he deems fit and proper 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 one of the accused person is in custody, I direct that this order of anticipatory bail of petitioner shall remain in force for a period of two weeks from date. With the aforesaid observations, CRM (A) 970 of 2026 is allowed. Report of compliance submitted by the State be kept with the record. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.)
