The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Panki P.S. Case No.13 of 2025 (N.D.P.S. Case No. 09 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 8B/18B/29 of N.D.P.S. Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in cultivation of opium. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and there is no FSL report in the record to support the contention of the prosecution as to whether the seized plants were in fact poppy plants. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 29.03.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.08 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be also admitted to bail. The learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge NDPS Act, Palamau at Daltonganj, in connection with Panki P.S.
