Order 26/03/2025
1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.258/2020 registered at Police Station Anantpur, District Kota City for the offences punishable under Section 8/15 of NDPS Act. Later on, police filed charge-sheet in this matter for the offences punishable under Section 8/29 of NDPS Act.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case.
Learned counsel submits that petitioner has been made accused solely on the basis of information furnished by co-accused Kalu Gurjar who has been found in possession of contraband and he has been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide
[2025:RJ-JP:13865] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-1329/2025]
order dated 07.02.2023. It is submitted that petitioner has no criminal antecedents and he is in custody since 06.01.2025. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. Charge-sheet has been filed and trial will take time in its conclusion.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner.
4. I have considered the contentions.
5. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner as also looking to the fact that person who was found in possession of contraband has already been granted bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court; no contraband has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner; petitioner has no criminal antecedents and he is in custody since 06.01.2025, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow the bail application.
6. This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner - Harishankar Meena S/o Shambhu Meena, shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all
[2025:RJ-JP:13865] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-1329/2025] subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
7. It is made clear that the accused-petitioner shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail and he shall mark his presence in first week of every month in the concerned police station, till trial is concluded.
8. Concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register recording the attendance of the petitioner, as directed above. In case the petitioner fails to mark his presence in the concerned police station, as directed above, the concerned SHO is directed to immediately report the matter to the concerned Court in this regard.
9. If any breach of these conditions is reported or come to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the trial Court to cancel the bail granted to him by this Court.
