Shri Bhaskar Das v. the State of Assam
Case brief
What is this about?
Gauhati High Court, Bail Appln./1634/2026, decided 16.07.2026 by Anjan Moni Kalita, J. Regular bail under Section 483 BNSS 2023 sought by Bhaskar Das, arrested 20.03.2026 in Gaurisagar P.S Case No.11/2026 (District Sivasagar) under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) NDPS Act 1985 r/w Section 4 Assam Ganja and Bhang Prohibition Act 1958; 2.46 Kg ganja recovered from applicant's house; intermediate quantity and no criminal antecedent pleaded; custody of almost four months; charge framed 08.06.2026; no prosecution witness including informant examined; TCR perused; bail refused and application rejected. Neutral citation: 2026:GAU-AS:9700.
What did the court decide?
Bail was refused because the seized narcotics were recovered from the house of the accused applicant, charge was framed only on 08.06.2026, and none of the prosecution witnesses including the informant had been examined; the court was therefore not inclined to grant any relief to the accused applicant at that stage.
