Opposite Party .... CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR For the Petitioner : Mr. Krishna Murari, Adv. For the State : Mr. Bhola Nath Ojha, A.P.P. .... 07/08.05.2026 1. The applicant who is in custody since 14.06.2025 has renewed the prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with Bagru P.S. Case No.14/2025, registered for the offence under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/ 29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, pending in the court of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Lohardaga. 2. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of F.I.R. alongwith its enclosures have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. 3. Earlier the bail application of this applicant was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 25.09.2025 passed in B.A. No.8478 of 2025. 4. Innocence has been claimed and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that search and seizure is bad and forensic test has to be done within 15 days. Further, the F.S.L. report is from the back date. Further, there are manipulating documents. On above basis, it has been claimed that he is entitled for bail. 5. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant and it has been submitted that it is a commercial quantity. 6. Since it is a commercial quantity and the issue raised in the present bail application has to be looked into by the trial court in the pending trial after considering the materials available on record, hence, I am not inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the applicant stands rejected. 7. This order will not prejudice the other proceeding in any other forum or in the pending proceeding.
