2025:UHC:2902 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS BA1/2354/2024 Hon’ble Alok Mahra, J. Mr. Gaurav Singh, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Akshay Latwal, learned AGA for the State. 3. Applicant- Pankaj Kumar, who is in Judicial custody in connection with Case Crime/FIR No. 567 of 2024, under Sections 8/20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, registered at Police Station Gangnahar, District Haridwar, has sought his release on bail. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant was apprehended with the possession of charas weighing 1.136 Kg.; counsel for the applicant has filed supplementary affidavit wherein he has filed inventory report, which was prepared on 06.10.2024 by the arresting officer. In the inventory report, case crime no. 567 of 2024, under Section 8/20 of the NDPS Act was mentioned. Surprisingly enough, the Inventory Report was prepared on 06.10.2024 and the FIR was lodged on 07.10.2025. How the Inventory Report contains case crime no. 567 of 2024, which was not in existence before registration of the FIR, is a moot question, which substantiate the arguments of the counsel for the applicant that the applicant has falsely been implicated in this case. 6. On the contrary, learned State Counsel 2025:UHC:2902 vehemently opposed the bail. 7. Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that application deserves bail at this stage. 8. Accordingly the bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant be released on bail, on his executing personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each of like amount, to the satisfaction of Court concerned.
