ORDER
Date : 06.10.2026
Heard Mr. D. Bora, learned counsel, appearing on behalf of the accused- applicant. Also heard Ms. A. Begum, learned Addl. P.P., representing the State respondent.
2. This is an application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023. praying for granting bail to the accused-applicant in connection with Howly Police Station Case No. 36/2026, registered under Sections 22(c)/25 of NDPS Act, 1985.
3. An FIR was lodged on 02.04.2026 before the Officer-in-Charge, Howly Police Station to the effect that, at around 12:05 AM, on receipt of information by Howly Police about a drug peddler storing certain narcotic substances in his residence located at Village Kadamguri under Howly Police Station, a police team proceeded to the place of occurrence; that upon arrival, the police found one person, namely, Akkash Ali Ahmed, in his residence and on search, the police found 10 blue-colored plastic packet containers containing suspected Yaba tablets; that the aforesaid quantity of Yaba tablets have been seized and it was found that the net weight of the same is 197.36 grams; that the Police apprehended the accused person and seized the narcotic contraband that was found from the accused person.
4. On receipt of the FIR, police registered Howly Police Station Case No. 36/2026, under the aforesaid sections.
5. The learned counsel appearing for the accused-applicant submits that the accused-applicant has been arrested on 02.04.2026 and since then he is behind the bars. He submits that, taking into account his long detention that he has already gone through, further custody detention may not be required in this case and therefore he should be released on bail at this stage.
6. On the other hand, Ms. A. Begum, the learned Addl. PP has opposed the prayer of the bail of the accused-applicant.
7. TCR in the instant case has been received and the same is perused by this Court.
8. This Court has considered the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for respective parties.
9. It is seen that the Yaba tablets, i.e., the contraband substance, recovered from the accused-applicant is of commercial quantity and the accused-applicant was arrested on 02.04.2026. It is also seen that the charge-sheet was filed by the police on 09.07.2026 and hearing on the charges are yet to be completed.
10. Taking into account the aforesaid facts, this Court is not inclined to grant the bail to the accused-applicant at this stage. Accordingly, the instant bail application stands rejected. JUDGE
