Order 21/02/2025
1. These instant bail applications have been filed under Section 483 of BNSS on behalf of the petitioners, who have been arrested in connection with FIR No.607/2024 registered at Police Station Sadar Hindaun, District Karauli for the offences punishable under
[2025:RJ-JP:8074] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-472/2025] Sections 8/21 and 8/29 of NDPS Act. Investigation is being conducted in this matter.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that the accused-petitioners have falsely been implicated in this case.
Learned counsel submits that alleged recovered contraband smack (5.44 gms) is marginally above the small quantity. He further submits that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioners of similar nature and trial of the case will take considerable time in its conclusion. He argues that the petitioners are in custody since 26.12.2024 and further custody of the petitioners would not serve any fruitful purpose.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners. He submits that one other criminal case has been registered against the petitioners.
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 petitioners, especially the fact that alleged recovered contraband smack is marginally above the small quantity; absence of criminal antecedents of similar nature and trial will take time in its conclusion as well as looking to the period of custody, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow these bail applications.
6. These bail applications are accordingly allowed and it is
directed that accused-petitioners – 1. Rajendra Meena S/o Radheyshyam Meena and 2. Ramcharan S/o Laxmichand
[2025:RJ-JP:8074] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-472/2025] shall be released on bail provided each of them 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 each of them shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
7. It is made clear that the accused-petitioners shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail and they shall mark their presence once in every three months in the concerned police station, till trial is concluded.
8. Concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register recording the attendance of the petitioners, as directed above. In case the petitioners fail to mark their 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 them by this Court.
