Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice Order on Board 14.05.2026 1. This is the 1st bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular SISTLA NEELIMA VISHNU PRIYA Digitally signed by SISTLA NEELIMA VISHNU PRIYA Date: 2026.05.15 17:37:04 +0530 2 bail to the Applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.415/2025 registered at Police Station – Padmanabhpur, District- Durg (C.G.), for the offence under Sections 8, 22(b) and 27(a) of NDPS Act. 2. As per the brief prosecution story, on 03.11.2025, upon receipt of secret information, Assistant Sub-Inspector Nagendra Banchhor reached behind Manas Bhawan at Ravishankar Stadium, Durg, and allegedly seized 312 Proxyco Spas capsules containing Dicyclomine HCL, Tramadol and Acetaminophen from the possession of the present Applicant, along with a silver-coloured mobile phone and a Suzuki motorcycle. On the same occasion, Nitrosun- 10 tablets containing Nitrazepam were also seized from co- accused Sahil Kumar Yadav. Thereafter, proceedings under Section 52-A(2) of the NDPS Act were conducted before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Durg on 07.11.2025, wherein inventory was prepared and samples were drawn. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet was filed before the learned Special Judge, NDPS Act. On the basis of the said report, the police registered an offence as mentioned above against the present Applicant. Hence, this application. 3. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the present Applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this 3 case. He further submits that the mandatory provisions of Sections 50 and 55 of the said Act were not duly complied with, the Applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case on account of rivalry with the police staff, no independent witness has been examined by the prosecution and no recovery has been made from the possession of the Applicant. It is lastly submitted that the Applicant is behind the bars since 03.11.2025 and the trial is likely to take considerable time, therefore, he may be granted regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the quantity of Tramadol recovered from the possession of the Applicant is above the commercial quantity, therefore, the Applicant is not entitled to be released on regular bail. 5. Having heard learned Counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that though it has been argued that the contraband is less than commercial quantity, but the demonstration made at page-22 of the bail application itself prima facie shows that the total weight of the seized Proxyco Spas capsules along with wrappers has been shown as 248.100 grams and the capsules allegedly contain Tramadol, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the present Applicant, at this stage. 4 Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. 6. Accordingly, the bail application of the Applicant – Faizan Ahmad involved in Crime No.415/2025 registered at Police Station – Padmanabhpur, District- Durg (C.G.), for the offence under Sections 8, 22(b) and 27(a) of NDPS Act, is hereby rejected. 7. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Priya
