Faruque Ansari, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Vishwanath Roy, APP --------- 02/25.09.2025 Heard learned counsels for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioners for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 8(B)/18(B)/29 of the NDPS Act and u/s. 33 of the Indian Forest Act. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. Admittedly, the petitioners were not found at the place of occurrence and not seen cultivating and irrigating the plants in forest area and merely on presumption and suspicion, the Police added their names in the FIR though no incriminating material has been recovered from their possession. He further submits that co-accused namely Govind Yadav and Bhim Singh have been granted bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 25.03.2025 in B.A. No. 2025:JHHC:29988 2 2371 of 2025. He further submits that petitioners are languishing in custody since 23.08.2025; as such, the petitioners may be enlarged on bail. They are ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioners. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case as also the fact that co- accused have been granted bail; I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge under NDPS Act, Palamau at Daltonganj in connection with Manatu P.S. Case No. 12/2025 corresponding to NDPS Case No. 06/2025. 6. It is made clear that the petitioners shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and if any adverse report will come against these petitioners, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioners.
