Jail Churu) ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through Pp ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Manoj Kumar For Respondent(s) : Mr. Hanuman Prajapati, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BALJINDER SINGH SANDHU Order 07/08/2026 This application for bail under Section 483 BNSS (439 Cr.P.C.) has been filed by the petitioner who has been arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.30/2026 registered at Police Station Dudhwakhara, District Churu for offences under Sections 8/15, 25 of the NDPS Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the contraband recovered from the petitioner and three other persons is 40.410 kg of poppy straw/husk, which is below the commercial quantity. It was further submitted that the petitioner is an addict and consumes the same. So far as the criminal cases pending against the petitioner are concerned, he has already been acquitted by the learned trial Court in two cases. At present, about five criminal cases are pending against the petitioner; however, he [2026:RJ-JP:37782] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-8240/2026] has not been convicted in any of them. Learned counsel further submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 07.04.2026. After completion of the investigation, the charge- sheet has also been filed, and as the trial is likely to take a considerable time to conclude, the petitioner deserves to be enlarged on bail. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. This Court has considered the rival submissions, the facts and circumstances of the case, and has also perused the material available on record. The contraband recovered from the petitioner and three other persons is 40.410 kg of poppy straw/husk, which is below the commercial quantity. It is also submitted that the petitioner is an addict and consumes the same. So far as the criminal cases pending against the petitioner are concerned, he has already been acquitted by the learned trial Court in two cases. At present, about five criminal cases are pending against the petitioner; however, he has not been convicted in any of them. The petitioner has been in judicial custody since 07.04.2026, and after completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet has also been filed. Hence, keeping in view the overall facts and circumstances of the case; conclusion of the trial of the case is likely to take time; the narcotic contraband alleged to be recovered from the petitioner is below commercial quantity; the prosecution has not shown any apprehension of the petitioner fleeing away from justice, in case he is enlarged on bail; but, without expressing any [2026:RJ-JP:37782] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-8240/2026] opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 BNSS (439 Cr.P.C.) is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner Jagdish Singh S/o Sh.jemal Singh Bajigar arrested in connection with FIR No.30/2026 registered at Police Station Dudhwakhara, District Churu, shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000/- and two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for his appearance before that court on each & every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial.
