Brief facts of the case are that on 19.01.2024, SHO, PS Kishangarh, seized an abandoned i20 vehicle bearing No. UP91P8108 and found that nobody was present, including the owner of the vehicle, and accordingly seized the car. On [2026:RJ-JP:18675] (3 of 5) [CRLMB-4690/2026] search, the police recovered 117 kg 100 grams of poppy straw from six gunny bags stored in said unattended car. FIR No. 27/2024 dated 19.01.2024 under Sections 8/15 and 8/18 of the NDPS Act was registered. The police arrested Bablu Singh, as he was the owner of the vehicle. After investigation, the police has filed charge-sheet against Bablu and kept pending against present petitioner under Section 173(8) of Cr.P.C. Bablu was granted bail by a coordinate Bench on 20.08.2025. 7. On the basis of interrogation note of Bablu Singh, the police has named Harvinder and Jitendra @ Jeetu as accused. After having knowledge that the present petitioner is in custody in another matter, the police has arrested the petitioner on production warrant. Investigation is completed and the police has drawn conclusion that the present petitioner has committed an offence under Sections 8/15 and 8/18 of the NDPS Act. 8. The material on record indicates that a total of eight criminal cases were registered against the petitioner and all were either under IPC or Arms Act. Out of these eight cases, one has resulted in acquittal and two are still pending for investigation, whereas five are pending for trial. Accused Bablu was already released on bail by a Co-ordinate Bench. 9. Upon hearing the arguments and perusing the record, we have found that the applicant-accused is no more required in the investigation and he is in custody for quite some time. The further proceedings will take its own time, therefore, looking to entirety of facts and circumstances of the case [2026:RJ-JP:18675] (4 of 5) [CRLMB-4690/2026] and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, the Court deems it appropriate to grant bail to the applicant- accused. The petitioner was named by accused Bablu and was accordingly added as an accused, but the related evidence is required to be examined. Thus, considering the criminal background, it is appropriate to grant bail subject to certain conditions. 10. Thus, the instant bail application filed on behalf of applicant- accused Jitendra @ Jeetu Meghwal S/o Shri Mohanlal, is hereby allowed and the applicant-accused is ordered to be released on bail upon furnishing a personal bond of ₹50,000/- with two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant-accused shall not tamper with evidence or influence the witness in any manner.
