Appellant Bishwajit Dey&#39;s truck was intercepted during a routine police naka check on April 10, 2023, where 24.8 grams of heroin were recovered, concealed in soap boxes wrapped in black polythene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia\">The Appellant claimed neither he nor his driver knew of the contraband, as the charge sheet named only one Md. Dimpul under Section 21(b) of the NDPS Act. He sought truck release under CrPC Sections 451 and 457, to prevent vehicle deterioration in custody.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia\">The State opposed, arguing the NDPS Act deters drug trafficking, and under Section 60(3), release requires proof of no owner complicity. The truck was also deemed crucial evidence to demonstrate contraband concealment at trial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia\">In conclusion, considering that prolonged custody would cause deterioration and economic loss the bench ordered the truck&#39;s release under strict conditions, preparing a videographic inventory authenticated by the Investigating Officer, Appellant, and accused. The appellant was required to provide a bond ensuring the truck&#39;s production in court, refrain from selling or transferring it, and consent to pay its value if confiscated.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <hr \/>\n \n <p><span style=\"font-size:16px\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia\">Case Details: Bishwajit Dey v.
