18.09.2026 Court No.35. D/L.11. Rakib (Rejected) In the High Court at Calcutta Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Criminal Miscellaneous Jurisdiction
CRM (NDPS) 577 of 2026
In Re: An Application for Bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Kharibari Police Station case no. 330 of 2025 dated 11.11.2025 under Sections 21(b)/21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act.
And In the matter of : Sunita Barman
……Petitioner. Mr. Subhadip Dhara
......for the Petitioner. Mr. Avrojyoti Das, Ld. APP Mr. Bijay Bikram Das Mr. Abhilash Mittal
……for the State.
Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for 311 days and there has been alleged recovery of 216 grams of brown sugar as well as 14 bottles of cough syrup. There is no possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion as prosecution has relied upon 16 witnesses in order to prove its case. Learned advocate appearing for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. Having considered the quantum of seizure in the present case, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of independent seizure list witnesses are over.
2 Learned trial Court is directed to split up the trial of the case by exhausting the process of law and thereafter overcome the stage of consideration of charges. Efforts be exerted to complete the seizure list witnesses within a period of eight weeks from the date of consideration of charges. With the aforesaid observation CRM (NDPS) 577 of 2026 is dismissed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order 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.
