Neutral Citation No. ( 2026:JHHC:29017 ) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 8805 of 2026 Rahima Khatoon @ Rahima Khatun @ Motki @ Rahima @ Matki Rahima @ Matki ... Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party --- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY --- For the Petitioner : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate For the State : Spl.P.P. --- Order No. 02 Dated 25th September 2026 Heard the learned counsel appearing for the respective parties. The petitioner is an accused in connection with NDPS Case No. 05 of 2026 arising out of Adityapur P.S. Case No. 438 of 2024, pending in the Court of learned Principal District and Sessions Judge at Seraikella. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected on four occasions. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that one of the co- accused Farzana has been granted bail in B.A. No. 763 of 2025. It has been submitted that several of the co-accused similarly situated have been granted bail. Learned counsel adds that an intermediary quantity of brown sugar was recovered from the possession of the petitioner who is in custody since 07.12.2024. Learned Spl.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. It seems that though an intermediary quantity of brown sugar of 20.37 grams was recovered from the possession of the petitioner, but regard being had to the fact that the petitioner is involved in four similar cases under the NDPS Act, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner, which stands rejected once again.
