Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:81644 Court No. - 68 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 7932 of 2025 Applicant :- Naveen Saini Opposite Party :- State of U.P. Counsel for Applicant :- Chandra Shekhar Kushwaha Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Heard Sri Chandra Shekhar Kushwaha, learned counsel for the applicant, Yagyavalk Pandey, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State and perused the record. The present bail application has been filed by accused- applicant- Naveen Saini seeking bail in Case Crime No. 24 of 2025, under Section 8AC/22C/29 of NDPS Act, Police Station- Kotwali Nagar, District- Saharanpur. In the prosecution case it is alleged that on the information of secret police informer, the police arrested the applicant. From the house of the co-accused, namely, Manni Panchhal, 4100 Drug injections, 62,400 intoxicating Capsules, and 6600 Drug pills are alleged to have been recovered. The recovery has been made in front of the Gazetted Officer.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the the applicant is servant in the house of the co-accused, Manni Panchhal and has nothing to do with the alleged recovery. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. There is no independent witness to the incident. The applicant is in jail since 02.02.2025. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the facts that the applicant is in jail since
02.02.2025, prima facie there appears to be no independent witness and period of incarceration gone into by the applicant, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Naveen Saini involved in aforesaid case crime number be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial. (ii) The applicant will not pressurize/ intimidate the prosecution witness. (iii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the
facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. (iv) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law.
