Mr. Prem Kaushal, learned counsel, holding brief of Mr. Ankurit Raj David, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. V.S. Pal, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. This first bail application has been moved by the applicant – Dhruv Bahadur Singh, seeking regular bail in Case Crime/F.I.R. No. 127 of 2024, under Sections 8/20 of NDPS Act, registered at Police Station Banbasa, District Champawat. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. The case of the applicant is that he has falsely been implicated in the matter. Applicant was alleged to have been apprehended with the alleged contraband of 1.014 Kg of charas from his possession. It is submitted that no inventory of the alleged contraband was prepared on the spot. 6. On the last date, State was directed to verify this fact. Today, on instructions, it is submitted by learned State Counsel that no inventory, as provided under Section 52-A of the NDPS Act, was prepared on the spot nor it was certified by the Magistrate concerned. 7. Learned counsel for the applicant would further submit that applicant is a citizen of Nepal and he has no previous criminal history. 8. Learned State Counsel, on the other hand, has vehemently opposed the bail application. 9. Considering the submission of learned counsel for the parties and also considering the fact that no inventory, as provided under Section 52-A of the NDPS Act, was prepared on the spot nor it was certified by the Magistrate concerned, without expressing any opinion as to the final merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves bail at this stage. 10. The bail application is allowed. 11. Let the applicant be released on bail, on his executing personal bond and furnishing two reliable local sureties, of Rs. 1 Lakh each, to the satisfaction of Court concerned, subject the following conditions:- i) The applicant shall attend the trial Court regularly, and, he will not seek any unnecessary adjournment. ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of this case. (iii) The applicant shall not tamper with evidence or witnesses, either directly or indirectly and shall not indulge in any criminal activity while on bail. (iv) The applicant shall surrender his passport, if any, to the court or to the investigating agency, to preclude risk of absconding. 12. It is clarified that if the applicant misuses or violates any of the conditions, imposed upon him, the prosecution will be free to move the court for cancellation of bail.
