And In the matter of : Md. Imran alias Imran. ……Petitioner. Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. S. Saha ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Kaushik Dey Mr. Tapan Bhanja ……for the DRI Authority. Leave is granted to the petitioner to strike down paragraph 2 of the application. Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the subject matter of the case involves seizure of 548 bottles of phensedyl and the petitioner along with others are in custody for about eight months. Complaint has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court. Additionally, it has been submitted that since investigation has been completed petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions. Learned advocate for the DRI Authority opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there were 19 pouches but samples were drawn from the 548 bottles of phensedyl which were recovered. Be that as it may, petitioner is in custody for eight months and complaint has been filed. Prosecution has relied upon 12 2 witnesses, as such there is no possibility of the trial concluding very soon. Consequently, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, petitioner namely, Md. Imran alias Imran shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs. 10,000 (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court under NDPS Act cum Additional Sessions Judge, 8th Court, Barasat, North 24 Parganas. If on bail, the petitioner shall meet with the Investigating Officer of the case once in a week till the charges are framed. Learned trial Court will take a decision whether such contention could be modified post framing of charges. Petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned Special Court. Accordingly, the prayer for bail in CRM (NDPS) 327 of 2026 is allowed. 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.)
