( 2025:JHHC:18696 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No.5695 of 2025 ------ Om Prakash Choudhary aged about 40 years, son of Jagarnath Choudhary, Resident of Kathar, Kataha, Post Office & Police Station: Dhanha, District-West Champaran, State-Bihar. .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opposite Party ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Kumari Rashmi, Addl.P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 10-07-2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Jaldega (Bansjor O.P.) P.S. Case No.39 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 20(b)(ii) B of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in sale and purchase of Ganja and 7.438 Kg of Ganja has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-20 of this bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 26.04.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 17 of the bail application. It is then submitted that so far F.S.L. report has not been brought on record, to suggest that the seized material is Ganja. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. 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 above-named 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 Principal District Judge- cum-Special Judge (N.D.P.S.), Simdega, in connection with Jaldega (Bansjor O.P.) P.S. Case No.39 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case.
