Gopal Barman v. State of West Bengal
Case brief
What is this about?
This C.R.M. dealt with an application for bail under Section 439 CrPC. The accused was in custody for 253 days. The court rejected the bail plea, holding that recovery from the house, presence of the son, and CDRs indicated joint action with a co-accused. Consequently, the court applied restrictive bail provisions under the NDPS Act.
What did the court decide?
The prayer for bail under Section 439 CrPC is rejected; the petitioner remains in custody.
