D/L306 16.04.2026 Bpg. C.R.M. (NDPS)614 of 2026 In Re: An application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (Previously Section 439 of Code of the Criminal Procedure, 1973 filed in connection with Dhubulia Case No.253 of 2025 dated 16.06.2025 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(C)/25/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985; Sanat Mondal @ Sanet Mondal Versus The State of West Bengal Mr. Sumanta Chakraborty Ms. Tanisha Parua. …for the petitioner. Mr. Antarikshya Basu Mr. Sourat Nandy. …for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been implicated in connection with the instant case falsely as he has been shown to be driver of a creta car. However, he is not the driver of a creta car and he hired the creta car. The petitioner was arrested on 16th June, 2025 and since then he is in custody and as the prosecution intends to examine 14 witnesses there is no possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion in near future, as such, the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions. Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, submits that the quantum of recovery in the present case is 89.5 2 kgs. of ganja I have taken into account the quantum of seizure and I am of the opinion that the rigors of Section 37 of the NDPS Act is attracted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Learned trial court is directed to expedite the process of trial as 14 witnesses are to be examined. With the aforesaid observations, CRM(NDPS)614 of 2026 is dismissed at this stage. 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.)
