Nawagarh, District Janjgir Champa C. G. ... Applicant(s) versus State Of Chhattisgarh Through P. S. Janjgir District Janjgir Champa C. G. ---- Non-Applicant(s) For Applicant : Mr. Ravindra Sharma, Advocate. For Non-Applicant/State : Ms. Palak Dwivedi, Panel Lawyer. Hon'ble Shri Ravindra Kumar Agrawal, Judge Order on Board 03/09/2026 1. This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicant, who has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 963/2025 registered at Police Station- Janjgir, District Janjgir- Champa (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 21(C) and 29 of NDPS Act. 2. The prosecution story, in brief, is that on 26.10.2025, upon receiving a secret information that applicant Sannu Kashyap was keeping prohibited narcotic capsules for the purpose of sale, Assistant Sub- PREETI KUMARI Digitally signed by PREETI KUMARI Date: 2026.09.05 12:28:36 +0530 2 Inspector Narendra Dixena took necessary action and conducted a search. During the search, 18 boxes of intoxicating capsules, namely Pyeevon Spas Plus, were allegedly recovered from the possession of the applicant. Each box contained 10 strips and each strip contained 24 capsules, thereby totaling 4,320 capsules weighing 2,880 grams. As the applicant failed to produce any valid document or authority in respect of the said capsules, he was arrested in accordance with law. During the course of investigation, the involvement of other accused persons in the commission of the offence was also found. After completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet was filed before the competent Court. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and he is in jail since 26.10.2025. He would further submits that the applicant has been implicated only on the basis of memorandum statement of the co-accused. He would further submits that the applicant has no previous criminal antecedents. He would also submits that the investigation has already been completed and charge-sheet has been filed before the competent Court and the conclusion of the trial may take quite long time. Accordingly, he prays for enlarging the applicant on regular bail. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State/non-applicant would oppose the bail application and submit that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case before the competent Court. She further submits that the quantity of contraband article which has been recovered from the possession of the applicant, is much above 3 the commercial quantity and as such, the applicant is not entitled to be released on bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence alleged against the applicant and further considering the fact that the contraband article recovered from the possession of the applicant is much above the commercial quantity and that the applicant has failed to explain the recovery made from him, it cannot be said to be a case of false implication. Hence, this Court does not find it a fit case to release the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant – Sannu Kashyap filed under Section 483 of the BNSS., involved in Crime No. 963/2025 registered at Police Station- Janjgir, District Janjgir- Champa (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 21(C) and 29 of NDPS Act, is rejected. 8. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 9. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance. Sd/- (Ravindra Kumar Agrawal) Judge Preeti
