D/L46 19.01.2026 Bpg. Dismissed . C.R.M. (NDPS) 45 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (Corresponding to Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) filed in connection with Bongaon Police Station Case No.95 of 2021 dated 22.02.2021 under Section 21(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985; Jahangir Mondal Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. Shashanka Shekhar Saha. …for the petitioner. Mr. Soumick Ganguly Ms. Srilekha Chattopadhyay. …for the State. Records reflect that the Division Bench in CRM(NDPS) 1314 of 2022 by an order dated 21.02.2023 was pleased to reject the prayer for bail of the petitioner on perusal of the chemical examiner’s report. Be it mentioned that there was categorical observation of the Division Bench that the interim bail is not confirmed. Petitioner submits that the petitioner was attending the court but was never taken into custody but all on a sudden he was taken into custody in August, 2025 and since then he is behind the bars. Learned advocate for the State submits that commercial quantity of contraband was seized from the possession of the petitioner. Witness action has commenced. It has been submitted 2 that out of 7 witnesses proposed, 2 witnesses have been examined. Be that as it may, learned trial court would expedite the process of examination of the witnesses. Having regard to the materials appearing against the present petitioner, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, CRM(NDPS) 45 of 2026 is dismissed. Report submitted by the State be kept with the record. All 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 of all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
