Mr. S.S. Chauhan, learned Deputy Advocate General for the State. 1. Applicant–Harprasad, who is in judicial custody in connection with Case Crime/F.I.R. No. 174 of 2025, under Sections 8/22 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (in short N.D.P.S. Act) registered at Police Station Pulbhatta, District Udham Singh Nagar, has sought his release on bail. 2. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 3. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. He submits that the FIR was lodged at 23:35 hours whereas the applicant was arrested at 21:20 hours, which creates doubt in the prosecution story; applicant has no criminal history and he is the sole bread earner of his family. 4. Learned Brief Holder for the State has opposed the bail application. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, this Court is of the view that the Applicant deserves to be released on bail at this stage. 6. Accordingly, bail application is allowed. Let the Applicant-Harprasad be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond with two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned court.
