State of Uttarakhand ......Respondent Hon ’ble Ash ish Nait han i, J. Mr. Vikas Kumar Guglani, learned counsel for the Applicants. 2. Mr. Vikash Uniyal, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. The present Bail Application has been moved by the Applicants, who are in judicial custody in connection with FIR No. 128 of 2026, registered at Police Station Kashipur, District Udham Singh Nagar, for offences punishable under Sections 8/20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. 4. Heard learned counsel for the Applicants and learned A.G.A. for the State. Perused the record. 5. Learned counsel for the Applicants submits that from a bare perusal of the FIR, no specific allegations have been levelled against the Applicants and no specific role has been assigned to them. It is further submitted that there is nothing in the FIR which discloses the commission of any offence by the Applicants and, therefore, their implication in the present case is wholly false and baseless. Learned counsel further submits that no independent public witness was associated with the alleged recovery and the mandatory provisions of the N.D.P.S. Act have not been complied with in their true spirit. It is also submitted that the Applicants are languishing in jail since 07.04.2026. 6. Per contra, learned A.G.A. opposed the bail application. 7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the material available on record, this Court finds that, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Applicants have made out a fit case for grant of bail at this stage. 8. Accordingly, the Bail Application is allowed. 9. Let the Applicants be released on bail, upon furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the court concerned. 10. It is made clear that the Applicants shall cooperate with the investigation/trial and shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 11. All pending applications, if any, shall stand disposed of.
