09.02.2026 Court No.28 Item No.29 ssi CRM (A) 117 of 2026 In Re: - An application for anticipatory bail under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Suraksha Nagarik Sanhita in connection with Pukhuria Police Station Case No. 576 of 2024 dated 06.10.2024 under Sections 21 (b)/29 of NDPS Act. And In the matter of: Raja @ Sk. Raju …. Petitioner Mr. Abhishek Chakraborty Mr. Musharaf Alam Sk …for the petitioner Mr. Iqbal Kabir Ms. Jonaki Saha ..for the State Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that apart from the statements of the co-accused, there is no other material available against the present petitioner. The mere issuance of proclamation is not an absolute bar for grant of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State strongly opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. He submits that the petitioner had remained absconding for about 1 ½ years. Not only the proclamation, an order of attachment has also been issued against the present petitioner. Considering the above and the other incriminating materials available in the case diary, the fact that the proclamation and order of attachment both have already been issued against the present petitioner, that the petitioner has remained absconding for about 1 ½ years and the restriction contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 2 Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected.
