This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicants who have been arrested in connection with Crime No. 109/2026 registered at Police Station Nagarnar, Jagdalpur, District Bastar (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 20 (B) of NDPS Act. 2. Case of the prosecution, in brief is that the police of Police Station Nagarnar, Jagdalpur, received a secret information from the informant and on the said information conducted a raid and seized 12.7 kg of Ganja from the applicants, thereafter, the aforesaid offence was registered against the SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Digitally signed by SIDDHANT TAMRAKAR Date: 2026.09.15 17:59:14 +0530 2 applicants. 3. It has been argued by learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants have falsely been implicated in this case. He also submits that from the possession of the applicants intermediate quantity of Ganja was seized. It is further argued that the applicants have no criminal antecedents and they are in jail since 16.07.2026 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicants. 4. On the other hand, 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 and also endorse the said submission that the applicants have no criminal antecedents. He further submits that from the possession of the applicants contraband article i.e. 12.7 Kgs of Ganja was seized , therefore, the present applicants are not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case that the contraband article i.e. 12.7 Kgs of Ganja was recovered from the possession of the applicants, which is less than commercial quantity. Moreover, the present applicants have no criminal antecedents. Also considering the fact that the charge-sheet has been filed in the present case before the competent Court and the applicants are in jail since 16.07.2026, conclusion of the trial may take some time, therefore, this Court is of the view that the applicants are entitled to be released on bail in this case. 7. Accordingly, the regular bail application is allowed and it is directed that in 3 the event of the applicants executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- each with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, they shall be released on bail on the following conditions:- (i) they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court; (ii) they shall not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial, & (iii) they shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court till disposal of the trial. 8.
