Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 21(b), 21(c), 22 (b), 22 (C), 29 of NDPS Act, 1985 and cognizance has been taken under Sections 21(B), 21(C), 22(b), 22(c), 29 of NDPS Act.
3. The learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the co-accused Suresh Dangi requested the petitioner to take him to a place near Laxmi Line Hotel, upon such request the petitioner came on the bike to take Suresh Dangi to the said place.
4.
Learned Counsel further submits that the petitioner had no knowledge as to what was being transported by Suresh Dangi and he under good faith merely provided transport upon being asked. The petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. Nothing has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner rather the petitioner has been made a victim of
2
circumstances. The petitioner has no criminal antecedent. The petitioner is in custody since 15.07.2024. Hence, he may be given the privilege of regular bail
5. Learned Spl. P.P. appearing on behalf of the State vehemently opposed the contentions made by the learned Counsel for the petitioner.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl. Sessions Judge-VII th, Hazaribagh in connection with NDPS Case No. 51 of 2024, corresponding to Korrah P.S. Case No. 120 of 2024.
7. 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.
