The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 20(b)(ii)(B)/29 of NDPS Act in connection with Rail Ranchi P.S. Case No.10/2025(N).
3.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that on the bare perusal of F.I.R., it clearly appears that the police has alleged to be conducted the search and seizure at Platform No. 5 of Ranchi Railway Station, but it is nowhere mentioned in the F.I.R. that the said process of search & seizure has been conducted in Videography and Photography or in any Audio-Video and electronic means which is gross violation of section 105 of B.N.S.S.-2023 which is mandatory in nature as such no search & seizure is proved in this case; the petitioner has got no criminal antecedents; no independent witness has been made to the seizure list while the railway station is a crowded place; petitioner is a Hawker by profession for no offence he has been languishing in custody since 21.04.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court.

4.
Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
5.
Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegation made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedents; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Commissioner-cum-Spl. Judge-NDPS, at Ranchi in connection with Rail Ranchi P.S. Case No.10/2025(N).
6.
It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
