CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASJIT SINGH BEDI Present:- Mr. Shivinder Singh, Advocate for Mr. B.S. Bhalla, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. M.S. Toor, AAG Punjab. *** JASJIT SINGH BEDI, J.(ORAL) The Prayer in this petition under Section 483 BNSS is for grant of the grant of regular bail in case FIR No.86 dated 10.05.2025 under Sections 21-B, 27-A, 29 of NDPS Act registered at Police Station Chheharta, District Amritsar. 2. The brief facts of the case are that petitioner-Amandeep Singh @ Aman was apprehended with 100 grams of Heroin and Rs.2100/-. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. There was violation of mandatory provisions of the Act regarding search and seizure including Sections 42 and 50. As the petitioner is in custody since 10.05.2025, but the report under Section 173(2) Cr.PC is yet to be presented and the recovery is of non commercial quantity of contraband, he is entitled VINAY MAHAJAN 2025.08.11 18:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-38595-2025 #2# to the concession of bail. 4. The learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, contends that serious allegations have been levelled against the petitioner. Offences of this kind were on the rise and, therefore, he was not entitled to the concession of bail. He, however, concedes that the petitioner was a first time offender, in custody since 10.05.2025, the report under Section 173(2) Cr.PC is yet to be presented and that the recovery was of non commercial quantity of contraband. 5. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 6. Admittedly, the recovery from the petitioner is of non commercial quantity of contraband. Therefore, the bar contained under Section 37 of the NDPS Act would not be applicable to the case of the petitioner. Further, the petitioner is stated to be in custody since 10.05.2025 and report under Section 173(2) Cr.PC is yet to be presented. Therefore the Trial of the present case is not likely to be concluded anytime soon. In this situation the further incarceration of the petitioner is not required. 7. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner-Amandeep Singh @ Aman son of Sh. Baldev Singh is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned CJM/Duty Magistrate, concerned. 8. The petitioner shall appear before the police station concerned on the first Monday of every month till the conclusion of the trial and inform in writing each time that he is not involved in any other crime other than the present case. 9. In addition the petitioner (or anyone on his behalf) shall prepare an FDR in the sum of Rs.50,000/- and deposit the same with the Trial Court. VINAY MAHAJAN 2025.08.11 18:31 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-38595-2025 #3# The same would be liable to be forfeited as per law in case of the absence of the petitioner from trial without sufficient cause. 10. The petition stands disposed of.
