This first anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No.171/2025 registered at Police Station – Pusore, District - Raigarh (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 20(B) of NDPS Act. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 08.06.2025, the police of Police Station – Pursour received information from an informant that certain individuals wre transporting cannabis in a Brezza Car bearing Registration No. CG-12-BC-0394 from Odisha. Acting on this information, the police conducted a raid on the road between village Machida and Padigaon and allegedly recovered 5 kg of cannabis from VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.09.26 17:50:26 +0530 2 a said car, which was in the possession of the other accused person. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and submits that the name of the present applicant is not mentioned in the FIR and other co- accused persons have already been granted regular bail by this Court in MCRC No.6561 of 2025 vide order dated 20.08.2025. He would further submits that the mandatory provisions with regard to search and seizure were not complied with in this case and investigation and the conclusion of the trial may take quite long time. Accordingly, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand learned State counsel opposes the application for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant and he further submits that the applicant has been absconding since the date of registration of the offence, and investigation against him is ongoing, therefore, the applicant is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail in the present case. 5. Recently the Supreme Court in the matter of Anarul SK vs. The State of West Bengal {SLP (Crl.) No(s). 12621/2024 has observed that the grant of anticipatory bail in cases involving Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) is a very serious issue. 6. In the light of observation made by the Supreme Court in Anarul SK (supra), I do not find any good ground to entertain this anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the present anticipatory bail application is dismissed Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaishali
