Kochas, District Rohtas, Bihar. ... Applicant versus State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Office, Police Station - Balrampur, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj (C.G.) ---- Non-applicant For Applicant : Mr. Vivek Kumar Agrawal, Advocate. For Non-Applicant/State : Mr. Soumya Rai, Dy. Govt. Advocate. Hon'ble Shri Ramesh Sinha , Chief Justice Order on Board 08.07.2026 1. The applicant has preferred this First Bail Application under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, in connection with Crime No.114/2025, registered at Police Station- Balrampur, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offences punishable under Sections 20(B)(ii)(c), 27(A) and 29 of the NDPS Act and Section 61(2) of the BNS. 2. The prosecution story in brief, is that the Police of Police Station – Balrampur, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj (C.G.) has received a secret information through the informant and on the basis of the said information, the Police authority has seized a total of 125.51 Kgs of Ganja from the possession of the co-accused person. Thereafter, the co-accused was arrested and the name of the applicant has come into light from the memorandum statement of the co-accused person. RAJSHEKHAR SONI Digitally signed by RAJSHEKHAR SONI 2 Hence, this application. 3. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case, and no such seizure has been made from the possession of the applicant, and the applicant is not named in the FIR but merely on the basis of memorandum statement of co-accused, the applicant has been roped in the instant case. The applicant is in jail since 20.01.2026. The conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that a total of 125.51 Kgs of Ganja has been seized, which is much above the commercial quantity. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case and the name of the applicant has come into light from the memorandum statement of the co-accused person, which goes to show that it appears to be an organized crime. It is further submitted that the bail application of the co-accused persons have also been rejected by this Court vide orders dated 16.06.2026 passed in MCRC Nos. 4414/2026 and 3423/2026. Hence, this bail application is liable to be dismissed. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 6. Taking into consideration the fact that though nothing is said to be seized from the possession of the applicant and he is not named in the FIR, but also considering the fact that the quantity of contraband article seized from the possession of the co-accused i.e. 125.51 Kgs of 3 Ganja, is much above the commercial quantity and the charge-sheet has been filed in this case and the name of the applicant has come into light from the memorandum statement of the co-accused persons, which goes to show that it appears to be an organized crime, thus, this Court is of the opinion that it is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant – Gajendra Kumar Singh, involved in Crime No.114/2025, registered at Police Station- Balrampur, District – Balrampur-Ramanujganj (C.G.) for the offences punishable under Sections 20(B)(ii)(c), 27(A) and 29 of the NDPS Act and Section 61(2) of the BNS, is rejected at this stage. 8. Needless to say that the learned trial Court is at liberty to proceed with the trial and conclude the same, expeditiously. 9. The Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Rajshekhar
