Learned counsel for the accused-applicant submits that the accused-applicant has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel also submits that as per the impugned FIR, on 14.01.2025, 46.94 grams of 'smack' along with 16.12 grams of 'MDMA' was allegedly recovered from the possession of the accused-applicant, however, later on it was found that no 'MDMA' was recovered, rather the recovered substance was 'mephedrone'. Learned counsel argues that small quantity of 'mephedrone' is 2 grams and the commercial quantity is 50 grams and also, small quantity of 'smack' is 5 grams and the commercial quantity is 250 grams. Learned counsel further argues that though, the contraband recovered from the accused-applicant i.e. 'smack' and 'mephedrone' are above the small quantity but much less than the commercial quantity. 4. Learned counsel for the accused-applicant contends that the no other criminal case of similar nature has been registered against the accused-applicant. Learned counsel further contends that since 14.01.2025, the accused-applicant is behind the bars and charge-sheet has already been filed and trial will take long time to conclude, therefore, the accused-applicant be granted benefit of bail. 5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State vehemently oppose this bail application. The Investigating Officer [2025:RJ-JP:26145] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-6844/2025] is present in person and submits the FSL Report dated 23.06.2025 wherein, it has been mentioned that the contraband recovered from the accused-applicant was 'mephedrone' and not 'MDMA'. The FSL Report dated 23.06.2025 is taken on record. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and also perused the material available on record. 7. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, looking to the period of custody of the accused-applicant; the fact that no other criminal case of similar nature has been registered against the accused-applicant and charge-sheet has been filed and also the trial will take long time to conclude, but without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, this Court deems it proper to allow this second bail application filed by the applicant. 8. Consequently, this second bail application filed under Section 483 of the B.N.S.S., 2023 is allowed. It is ordered that accused- applicant Junaid S/o Aameen, arrested in connection with FIR No.5/2025, registered at Police Station Uniyara, District Tonk, shall be released on bail; provided he furnishes personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- and two solvent attested sureties of Rs.50,000/- to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
