¶15

I have taken into account the earlier order of rejection of the present petitioner in CRM (NDPS) 1024 of 2025 which was mainly on the antecedents of the present petitioner in connection with NDPS cases being Kaliachak Police Station Case No. 723 of 2024 and Kaliachak Police Station Case No. 758 of 2025.

¶16

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner has submitted that in the initial charge sheet petitioner’s name did not appear but subsequently he has been named in the supplementary charge sheet.

Be that as it may, at this stage, I find there is no change of circumstances.

Petitioner would renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of the seizure list witnesses are over.
