Rawat, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Dinesh Chauhan, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. The applicant – Raj Kumar, who is in judicial custody in connection with FIR/ Case Crime No. 05 of 2026, under Sections 8/ 20/ 29/ 60 of NDPS Act, registered at P.S. Laxmanjhoola, District Pauri Garhwal, has sought his release on bail. 4. In this case, applicant was apprehended alongwith the co-accused on 01.03.2026 at about 04: 10 PM and a recovery of 1.4 Kg of charas was recovered from the tool box of the motorcycle in which the applicant was a pillion rider. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that applicant has falsely been implicated in the case; that neither he was the owner of the motorcycle nor was he riding the motorcycle; that he had no knowledge about the contraband kept in the tool box of the motorcycle as he was just the pillion rider in it and that applicant has no previous criminal history. 6. Per contra, learned State has vehemently opposed the bail application. 7. Considering the fact that recovery of the alleged charas was made from the tool box of the motorcycle and not from the applicant and the applicant was just a pillion rider in the motorcycle, this Court is of the view that it is a case fit for bail and the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail. 8. The bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant be released on bail, on his executing personal bond and furnishing two reliable sureties, each of like amount, to the satisfaction of Court concerned, subject to the following conditions: - (a) The applicant shall not leave the country without prior permission of the court. (b) The applicant shall appear before the investigating officer as and when required and cooperate with the investigation. (c) The applicant shall not tamper with evidence or witnesses, either directly or indirectly and shall not indulge in any criminal activity while on bail. (d) The applicant shall surrender his passport, if any, to the court or to the investigating agency, to preclude risk of absconding. 10. The bail granted to the applicant shall be liable to be cancelled in the event of any violation of the aforesaid conditions or if the applicant is found to have misused the liberty granted to him.
