This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Leave is granted to the petitioner to amend the cause-title in the bail application.
2. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the recovery in this case is 2453 grams of ganja from the petitioner at the airport.
3. Learned advocate appearing for the Customs Authority opposes the prayer for bail. It has been submitted that the petitioner, while returning from Bangkok, was intercepted at the airport with the aforesaid contraband.
4. I have taken into account the recovery in the present case, the period of detention and the fact that complaint has been submitted before the Jurisdictional Court. Having regard to the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Barnali Bag versus Union of India passed in Special Leave Petition (Crl.) No. 3641 of 2026, which emphasis on the intermediate quantity, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail.
5. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner, namely, Hrithiik Sanjay Singh @ Hrithik Sanjay Singh is allowed.
6. Accordingly, the petitioner shall furnish 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 Special Judge (NDPS Act), Barasat, North 24 Parganas.
7. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present before the learned Trial Court on each and every date. Petitioner shall not leave the district of North 24 Parganas without prior permission of the learned Trial Court. Additionally, the petitioner shall make himself available before the Investigating Officer and/or the Principal Commissioner, Airport and Air Customs Authority as and when called for.
8. In the event, the petitioner fails to comply with any of the conditions as stated above, the learned Trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.
9. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1672 of 2026 is disposed of.
10. All parties shall act in terms of the server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
11. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
