2026:UHC:4861 SL. No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS BA2 No. 39/2020 With BA2 No. 51 of 2020 Hon'ble Rakesh Thapliyal, J. 1. Mr. Sanjay Bhatt, learned counsel for the applicant. 2. Mr. Pradeep Lohni, learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. These are two second bail applications moved by the applicants, namely, Laxmi Datt Bhatt and Bhuwan Bhatt who have been implicated for the offence punishable under Section 8/20 of the NDPS Act, P.S. Pati District Champawat arising out of FIR dated 09.12.2019 bearing FIR No. 0027 of 2019. 4. It is argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that in WPCRL No. 618 of 2020 filed by both the applicants, the Coordinate Bench on 03.06.2020 directed that further proceeding in regard to filing of the charge sheet shall remain stayed until further order of this Court which is still in operation. It is further argued that in both the bail applications the Coordinate Bench on 17.06.2020 also granted interim bail to the applicants till further orders of this Court. 5. Record of WPCRL No. 618 of 2020 is also clubbed with both these bail applications pursuant to the order passed by the Coordinate Bench dated 19.12.2024 which is still pending for consideration. 5. Since, now the applicants have already been granted interim bail by the Coordinate Bench on 17.06.2020 and the same is still continuing and also WPCRL No. 618 of 2020 is still pending for consideration in which the proceedings have been stayed, therefore, the interim bail granted by the Coordinate Bench to both the applicants on 17.06.2020 is made absolute. 6. WPCRL No. 618 of 2020 is now de-linked and the Registry is directed to list the same 2026:UHC:4861 before the appropriate Bench. 7. Learned counsel for both the parties are directed to move appropriate application for expediting the WPCRL No. 618 of 2020. 8. Since, the interim bail granted on 17.06.2020 is made absolute, therefore both the second bail applications are disposed of. It is made clear that grant of interim bail, which is now made absolute, will be the subject to the outcome of the WPCRL No. 618 of 2020. (Rakesh Thapliyal, J.) 09.06.2026 Parul 2026:UHC:4861
