JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Santosh Kr. Soni, Advocate For the State : Mr. Bhola Nath Ojha, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 09.09.2026 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Ichak P.S. Case No.122 of 2026 registered for the offences punishable under sections 21(a)/22(a)/29 of the N.D.P.S. 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 which is also known as heroin and from the co-accused Sunil Mehta around 5 grams of brown sugar which is also known as heroine was seized. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the seized brown sugar comes under small quantity. It is next submitted that no incriminating material has been recovered from the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –09 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 20.07.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 06 of the bail application. It is further 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 above-named 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 Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, N.D.P.S. Act, Hazaribagh, in connection with Ichak P.S. Case No.122 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner will co- operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
