VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM TO BE REPRESENTED BY THE LEARNED PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, ASSAM Advocate for the Petitioner : MR. M A I HUSSAIN, MD A ISLAM Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM, BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH MAZUMDAR ORDER 08.06.2026 Heard Mr. M.A.I. Hussain, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. K.K. Das, learned APP for the State. The TCR have been received. Page No.# 2/3 The petitioner was arrested on 08.09.2025 in connection with Dispur P.S. Case No. 752/2025, which has culminated in NDPS Case No. 13/2026, pending before the learned Special Judge (NDPS), Kamrup (M), wherein charge has been framed under Section 21(c) of the NDPS Act, 1985. The charge-sheet was submitted on 18.12.2025 and charges were framed on 17.02.2026. Thereafter, the trial has not progressed. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the presence of the petitioner at the place of seizure of the contraband is disputed and therefore, he deserves the privilege of bail at this stage. It has further been submitted that although the matter was fixed on three different dates after framing of the trial has not proceeded any further. The learned APP has submitted that the alleged recovery involves a commercial quantity of heroin and that the relevant materials on record indicate that the petitioner was apprehended at the time of seizure. Accordingly, it has been prayed that the privilege of bail ought not to be granted to the petitioner at this stage of the trial. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned APP. Having regard to the provisions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, I am of the considered view that the petitioner has failed to satisfy the conditions prescribed Page No.# 3/3 therein. Accordingly, I do not find it to be a fit case for granting the privilege of bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, this bail application stands dismissed. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
