Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Shakti Raj Sinha, Advocate. For Non-applicant/State : Ms. Smriti Shrivastava, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Mr. Ramesh Sinha, Chief Justice Order on Board 10.03.2026 1. This is the First bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 79/2025 registered at Police Station – Excise Department Divisional Flying Squad Division, Surguja, District Surguja (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 22(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. 2. The prosecution story, in a nutshell, is that on perusal of the case, it prima facie reveals that on 05.07.2025 a total of 25 Telgisic Buprenorphine injections, totaling 50 ml, were recovered and seized from the possession of the applicant. A perusal of the case records further ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Digitally signed by ABHISHEK SHRIVAS Date: 2026.03.12 11:00:01 +0530 2 prima facie reveals the involvement of the applicant in the alleged crime. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and the alleged contraband article were not seized from the possession of the present applicant. He also submits that mandatory provisions of NDPS Act and the concerned police station did not take proper investigation before lodging FIR against the applicant. He further submits that the present applicant has no criminal antecedents and he is in jail since 05.07.2025 and conclusion of the trial may take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the present applicant. 4. On the other hand, the learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the alleged contraband article recovered from the possession of the present applicant is much above the commercial quantity. Therefore, the present applicant is not entitled to the grant of regular bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is alleged that 25 Telgisic Buprenorphine injections, totaling 50 ml, were recovered and seized from the possession of the applicant, which is above the prescribed commercial quantity. The applicant has failed to furnish any satisfactory explanation regarding the recovery. At this stage, it cannot be said that this is a case of false implication. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant – Kamlesh Kurre, involved in Crime No. 79/2025 registered at Police Station – Excise Department Divisional Flying Squad Division, Surguja, District Surguja (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 22(c) of the Narcotic 3 Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, is rejected. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9. OfÏce is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) ChiefJustice Abhishek
