JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. A. K. Chaturvedy, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kumar Dubey, A.P.P. --- 03/20.08.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No. 227 of 2019, for the offences registered under Sections 15(C), 22 and 29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Latehar. On 24.10.2019 at about 3:45 P.M., Balumath police on the basis of confidential information intercepted a pick-up van near Barchhia More. On search 374.700 kgs. of poppy husk were recovered from the said vehicle. It was submitted that petitioner was not arrested at the spot. It was further submitted that petitioner is neither driver nor owner of the vehicle. It was further submitted that name of the petitioner has transpired in confession of co-accused. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that petitioner has got criminal antecedent. Considering the fact that there is no cogent material against the petitioner on the record, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge, Latehar, in connection with Balumath P.S.
