JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPMAN
Order 07/04/2025
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.48/2025 registered at Police Station Vijay Nagar, District Beawar for the offence punishable under Section 8/15 of NDPS Act. Investigation is being conducted for offences punishable under Sections 8/15 & 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. It is submitted that no contraband has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and he has been made accused solely on the basis of interrogation of co-accused persons who were found in possession of contraband. It is submitted that no reference of pendency of other cases has been mentioned in the impugned order but one other case under the NDPS Act has been
[2025:RJ-JP:15523] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-2957/2025] registered against the petitioner. It is contended that petitioner is in custody since 11.02.2025. Further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose. Trial will take time in its conclusion.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the
submissions made by 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 considering the fact that no contraband has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner; petitioner is in custody since 11.02.2025; trial will take time in its conclusion, 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 - Ratanlal S/o Mohan, 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. 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
[2025:RJ-JP:15523] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-2957/2025] 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.
