JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Vikas Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Priya Shrestha, Spl. P.P. (Through V.C.) ------ Order No.02 Dated- 14.11.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Bistupur P.S. Case No.64 of 2025 corresponding to NDPS Case No. 40 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 21(c) and 22(b) of the N.D.P.S. Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this is the second journey of the petitioner with the prayer for regular bail and earlier the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner was rejected vide order dated 14.07.2025 in B.A. No. 5725 of 2025. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the only fresh ground is that in the meanwhile, charge has been framed. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that keeping in view the fact that narcotic drugs in commercial quantity has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner, the rigors of Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985 is attracted in this case and as there is absolutely no reasonable ground to believe that the petitioner is not guilty of the offence alleged and that he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail, hence, the petitioner ought not be admitted to bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and in the absence of any material to suggest any reasonable ground to believe that the petitioner is not guilty of the offence alleged or that he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail, this Court is of the considered view that this is not a fit case where the above-named petitioner be admitted to bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the above-named petitioner is rejected for the same reasons as mentioned in the order dated 14.07.2025 in B.A. No. 5725 of 2025.
