ORDER
09-03-2026 Heard Mr. P. Choudhury, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. R. J. Baruah, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Assam.
2. This is an application under Section 482 BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of pre-arrest bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Sri Jayanta Mazumdar who is apprehending arrest in connection with Noonmati P.S. Case No. 06/2026 registered under Sections 20(b)(ii)B of the NDPS Act.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the other co-accused who were taken into custody were not sought for police custody, even on their arrest and today by an order passed in BA No. 534/2026, they have been granted bail. Accordingly, he prayed that the present petitioner may also be granted pre-arrest bail.
4. The learned APP has submitted that because of the non cooperation of the present petitioner, the investigation could not be completed within the stipulated period.
5. The learned APP has submitted that the recovery was made from the bathroom of the house, wherein allegedly the present petitioner was residing. The learned counsel for the petitioner has objected to the same.
6. However, in the facts and circumstances, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner cannot be granted pre-arrest bail.
7. Accordingly, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner, namely, Sri
Jayanta Mazumdar in connection with Noonmati P.S. Case No. 06/2026 registered under Sections 20(b)(ii)B of the NDPS Act stands rejected at this stage.
8. This pre-arrest bail application accordingly stands disposed of.
