Order 18/06/2025
1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.43/2025 registered at Police Station Arain, District Ajmer, for the offence punishable under Sections 8/18 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the matter pertains to the cultivation of opium plants. He further submits that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 21.03.2025 and the charge-sheet has already been filed against him. He further submits that there is no criminal antecedent against the petitioner and the trial of the case will take considerable time, and
[2025:RJ-JP:23339] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-7185/2025] further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the
submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.
4. Heard and considered the contentions made by the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.
5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner, and also the fact that the matter pertains to the cultivation of opium plants, petitioner is in judicial custody since 21.03.2025, the charge-sheet has already been filed against the petitioner, and there is no criminal antecedent against the petitioner and the trial of the case will take considerable time, hence, without commenting any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it fit and proper to allow this bail application.
6. The bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that the accused-petitioner Sonath Jat S/o Lt. Sh. Radhakishan shall be released on bail provided that he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lac only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing as and when called upon to do so.
7. It is made clear that the petitioner shall not involve in other offence(s) of similar nature during currency of the bail and he
[2025:RJ-JP:23339] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-7185/2025] shall mark his presence in first week of every two months in the concerned police station, till trial is concluded.
8. The petitioner shall not tamper with any evidence, nor would influence the witnesses in the case.
9. If any breach of these conditions is reported or come to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the Trial Court to cancel the bail granted to him by this Court.
10. Concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register recording the attendance of the petitioner. In case, the petitioner fails to mark his presence in the concerned police station, the concerned SHO is directed to immediately report the matter to the concerned Court in this regard.
