02/07.03.2025 Heard the Parties.
Petitioner has been made accused in connection with NDPS Case No.45 of 2020, corresponding to NCB Crime No.12/NCB/Ranchi/2020, for the offence under Sections 20 (b) (ii) (C), 25 and 29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, pending in the Court of learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-III, Ranchi.
It is alleged that on 17.12.2020 at about 9:00 P.M, the informant party intercepted one white color Tata Ace Goods Carrier Vehicle bearing registration No. JH-01-DS-8081 and another Volkswagon Blue Color car bearing registration No. WB-022-AA-
4503.
The petitioner happens to be the driver of Tata Ace Lite Goods Carrier vehicle and on search, 434 kgs. of ganja were recovered from the said vehicle.
Earlier the petitioner was granted bail by this court vide B.A. No. 11990/2021. However, the Union of India preferred an S.L.P. (Crl) No. 5371/2022 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and the matter was remanded back to this court for reconsideration of the bail order. Subsequently the petitioner withdrew the bail application on 17.02.2024. It appears that the commercial quantity of cannabis was recovered from the vehicle on which the petitioner was travelling.
Mr. Anil Kumar, learned Additional Solicitor General
of India submitted that out of seven witnesses, six have already been examined.
Regard being had to the facts and circumstance of the case; I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is hereby rejected.
(Ambuj Nath, J.)
