Mr. Devesh Upreti, learned counsel for the Applicant. 2. Mr. B.N. Maulekhi, learned D.A.G. for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. The present Bail Application has been moved by the Applicant - Diler Singh, aged about 21 years, S/o Gurmej Singh, R/o Salamata Bidhaura Majhaula Nanakmatta, Police Station Nanakmatta, District Udham Singh Nagar. The Applicant is in judicial custody in connection with FIR No. 190 of 2025, registered at Police Station Dineshpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, under Sections 8, 21, 29 and 60 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985. 4. Heard Mr. Devesh Upreti, learned counsel for the Applicant, and Mr. B.N. Maulekhi, learned D.A.G. for the State, and perused the record. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has been falsely implicated and has not committed the alleged offence. It is further submitted that no recovery of contraband was made from the personal search or possession of the present Applicant, and the alleged recovery was effected only from the co- accused. The Applicant has no criminal antecedents and has been implicated merely on suspicion. It is also submitted that co-accused Angrej Singh has already been granted bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, and therefore, the present Applicant is entitled to the benefit of parity. The Applicant has been in judicial custody since 05.10.2025. 6. On the other hand, learned Brief Holder for the State has opposed the bail application; however, he fairly admits that no recovery was made from the possession of the present Applicant. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly the absence of recovery from the Applicant, the grant of bail to the co-accused on the ground of parity, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the Applicant deserves to be released on bail at this stage. 8. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Court concerned. 10. All pending applications, if any, stand disposed of. ( Ash ish Nait h an i, J.) Vacation Judge 16.01.2026 Shiksha
