20.04.2026 IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Item No.47 CRIMINAL MISCELLANEOUS JURISDICTION Ct.No.35 dc. Rejected C.R.M. (NDPS) 691 of 2026 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Hili Police Station Case No. 62 of 2025 dated 25.03.2025 under Sections 21(c)/22(c)/23(c)/27A/28 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. And In Re : Deloyar Fakir @ Delwar Fakir @ Deloyor Fakir ... Petitioner. Mr. Kaushik Choudhury, Mr. Dwaipayan Panda ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Partha Pratim Das, Mr. Dattatreya Dutta ... For the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that after the bail was rejected on 21.01.2026, even after two schedules were fixed, there has been no progress in the case as witness examination has not commenced. Learned advocate appearing for the State has submitted a report which reflects that on 09.02.2026, 23.02.2026 and 25.02.2026 dates were fixed. It has also been contended that because of other administrative assignment, the learned court was pleased to fix next date on 07.05.2026. The subject-matter of the case relates to alleged recovery of 69.7 grams of brown sugar and 58.7 grams of Yaba Tablets. Having considered the quantum of seizure of contraband in the present case and the fact that Section 37 2 of the NDPS Act is attracted and the fact that there has been no change of circumstances since the last prayer for bail was considered on 21.01.2026, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Learned Trial Court would ensure that within 90 days from the next date fixed, the evidence of the seizure list witnesses is over. Petitioner would be at liberty to approach this Court after the said time period is over. Report submitted by the learned advocate appearing for the State be kept with the record. The application for bail, being CRM (NDPS) 691 of 2026, is, thus, disposed of. All concerned 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 with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
