21. BA] SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS 2026:UHC:3182 (Delay Condonation Appl. No.01 of 2026) In BA1 No.510 of 2026 Afjal Vs. State of Uttarakhand Hon’ble Ashish Naithani, J. Mr. Gaurav Singh, learned counsel for the Applicant. 2. Mr. Dinesh Chauhan, learned AGA for the State. 3. Present bail application is moved by the applicant, who is in judicial custody in connection with FIR/Case Crime No.116 of 2026 for the offence punishable under Section 8/21 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, P.S. Bhagwanpur, District Haridwar. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case and nothing has been recovered from the possession of the applicant as the alleged recovery was planted by the police. He submits that the incident was of a public place but there is no public witness of the alleged recovery, which renders the prosecution story doubtful. He submits that applicant has no criminal history. 6. Learned State counsel opposed the bail application with the contention that it is a case of chance recovery and there is no ground of falsely implication, thus applicant should not be granted bail. 7. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 8. Accordingly, bail application is allowed. Let the applicant-Afjal be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned. 9. Pending application, if any, stands disposed of. (Ashish Naithani, J.) 28.04.2026 Arti
