Birbal Ram, Aged About 47 Years, R/o Rotu, Tehsil Jayal, Distt. Nagour, Raj. (Petitioner Is In Central Jail, Jaipur). ----Petitioner Versus C.B.N., Through Special PP ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Lakshya K.

Order 07/08/2025
1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.8/2025 registered at Police Station C.B.N. Bhawanimandi (Rajasthan) for the offence punishable under Section 8/15B of NDPS Act.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Counsel submits that alleged recovered contraband is below commercial quantity. Counsel further submits that there are no criminal antecedents of the petitioner. Petitioner is in custody since 01.07.2025 and trial will take considerable time in its conclusion. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. 3. Learned Special Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions
[2025:RJ-JP:30451] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-8845/2025] made by counsel for the petitioner. He submits that there is no mandate of law that person who has been found in possession of the contraband below the commercial quantity should be granted bail necessarily. 4. I have considered the contentions. 5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, as also the fact that alleged recovered contraband is below commercial quantity; there are no criminal antecedents of the petitioner; period of custody, but without commenting anything 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 accused-petitioner- Gopichand S/o Sh. Birbal Ram shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five 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 and as and when called upon to do so. 7. It is made clear that the accused-petitioner shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail and he shall mark his presence in first week of every month in the Central Bureau of Narcotics, Bhawanimandi. 8. Concerned Officer of the Bureau is directed to maintain a
[2025:RJ-JP:30451] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-8845/2025] register recording the attendance of the petitioner. In case the petitioner fails to mark his presence in the concerned police station, concerned Officer of the Bureau is directed to immediately report the matter to the concerned Court in this regard. 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. Office is directed to send a copy of this order to the concerned officer of the Bureau for necessary compliance. 11. The observations made hereinabove are only for decision of the instant bail application and would not have any impact on the trial of the case in any manner. (ANIL KUMAR UPMAN),J LALIT MOHAN /216
