Order No.02 Dated:-13-08-2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No.102 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 21(b), 22(b), 29 of the NDPS, Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in sale of brown sugar and 1.30 grams of brown sugar which is also known as Heroin was recovered from the petitioner, which was kept in three packets and in total from the co-accused persons altogether 4.23 grams of brown sugar was recovered. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the seized brown sugar comes under intermediate quantity. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 17.06.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 14 and has no criminal antecedents as mentioned in para-12 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge NDPS, Latehar, in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No.102 of 2026 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card in the court below with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
