Order 24/02/2025
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.169/2024 registered at Police Station Nasirabad Sadar, District Ajmer for the offences punishable under Section 8/15 of NDPS Act.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. It is submitted that recovered contraband is less than commercial quantity. Learned counsel contends that petitioner has no criminal antecedents under the NDPS Act and he is in custody since his date of arrest. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. Trial will take time in its conclusion.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by counsel for the petitioner. He submits that since he is not having the case diary with him today, he is not in position to verify this
[2025:RJ-JP:8598] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-2652/2025] fact that petitioner has no criminal antecedents under the NDPS Act.
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 the fact that recovered contraband is less than commercial quantity; trial will take time in its conclusion; but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it fit and proper to allow these bail applications.
6. The bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner Sundar Lal S/o Gopal, 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 subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
7. Before accepting bail bonds, learned trial court is directed to verify the factum of absence of any criminal antecedents of the petitioner under the NDPS Act.
8. If the petitioner is found to be involved in any other case under the NDPS Act, his bail bonds should not be accepted by learned trial court.
