The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in connection with Crime No.100/2023, registered at Police Station: Singhoda, Distt. Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh for the offences punishable under Section 20-B of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, for short, the NDPS Act. 2. As per the prosecution story, after receiving a secrete information that car bearing registration No. MP-19/CC/6919 one person is carrying 2 Ganja and after receiving such information it is alleged that 100 KG Ganja was recovered from the said car, which were kept in dickey of said car containing 100 packets of 1 KG of each. 3. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the applicant has no knowledge about the alleged Ganja in aforesaid vehicle and thus he has not committed any offence. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed. The applicant is in jail since 21.12.2023. The conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that the quantity of 100 KG Ganja has been seized from the possession of the applicant, which is much more than the commercial quantity. Further the charge-sheet has been submitted. Hence, his bail application is liable to be dismissed. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the fact that the quantity of contraband Ganja i.e. total 100 KG has been seized from the present applicant, is much more than the commercial quantity and the applicant has failed to give any explanation for the same and it cannot be said to be a case of false implication, further the charge-sheet has been submitted and the trial is in progress, the bail application of applicant – Vinod Singh involved in Crime No.100/2023, registered at Police Station: Singhoda, Distt. Mahasamund, Chhattisgarh for the offences punishable under Section 20-B of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 3 1985, for short, the NDPS Act, is rejected at this stage. 7. After passing of the order, the learned counsel for the applicant submits that the trial may be expedited. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9. The Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Preeti
