Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application. This Court has considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and finds that the alleged contraband, namely 20.78 grams of smack and 12.33 grams of MD, was not recovered from the petitioner. The said contraband was recovered from Mahipal, and the recovered quantity is below the commercial quantity. After completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet has been filed. Further, the petitioner has no criminal antecedents under the NDPS Act and has been in judicial custody since 07.07.2026. . Hence, keeping in view of the fact that conclusion of the trial of the case is likely to take time. The recovered contrband is below commercial quantity and the prosecution has not shown any apprehension of the petitioner fleeing away from justice, in case he is enlarged on bail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to grant bail to the petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS. Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS is allowed and it is directed that petitioner – Richpal Bhakhar S/o Shaitanram, shall be released on bail in connection with aforesaid FIR, if not wanted in any other case, provided he executes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that [2026:RJ-JP:37557] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-10237/2026] court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
