HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 32767 of 2025 Court No. - 67 HON'BLE KRISHAN PAHAL, J.
1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Sri K.K. Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Deepak Kumar Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicants seek bail in Case Crime No.57 of 2025, under Section 8/20 of The Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station- G.R.P. Banda, District- Banda, during the pendency of trial. 4. As per the allegations of the FIR, 6.240 Kg. and 6.218 Kg. Ganja are said to have been recovered from the possession of the applicant nos. 1 & 2, respectively, by the police on 12.8.2025 at about 02:05 a.m.
5. Learned counsel for the applicants has argued that the applicants are absolutely innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case with a view to cause unnecessary harassment and to victimize them. The allegations are per se false and the recovered contraband is below the commercial quantity. There is no compliance of mandatory provision of Section 52A of the N.D.P.S. Act and also there is no chemical analyst's report to corroborate that the recovered contraband is Ganja. There is no criminal history of the applicants. The applicants are languishing in jail since
12.8.2025. The applicants are ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicants are released on bail, they will not misuse the liberty of bail.

6. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application. 7. Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, without commenting on the merits of the case, prima facie, I find it a fit case for bail. 8. Let the applicants- Ruvi Bano and Sirajuddin, who are involved in aforementioned case be released on bail on their furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified. (i) The applicants shall not tamper with evidence during trial.
(ii) The applicants shall not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses. (iii) The applicants shall appear before the trial court on the date fixed. 9. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 10. It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicants shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
