JUSTICE SANGEETA SHARMA (V.J.) Order 05/06/2026 1. The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the accused-petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS in connection with FIR No. 38/2026 registered at Police Station Vigyan Nagar, District Kota City for the offence(s) punishable under Sections 8 & 21 of NDPS Act. 2. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case. He also submits that accused-petitioner is in custody since long and charge-sheet has already been filed. He further submits that the recovered contraband is below commercial quantity and submits that there are no criminal antecedents of similar nature registered against the accused-petitioner. He further submits that the co- accused person has already been enlarged on bail; conclusion of trial will take its own time, so no fruitful purpose would be served [2026:RJ-JP:22983] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-5013/2026] by keeping the accused-petitioner behind the bars and, therefore, prays that the accused-petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail under Section 483 of BNSS. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposes the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the accused- petitioner hereinabove and submits that there are no criminal antecedents of similar nature registered against the accused- petitioner but there are seven other criminal cases registered against the accused-petitioner. 4. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the arguments advanced by learned counsels for both the parties and the material made available before this Court in the form of copy of charge-sheet; that the accused-petitioner is in custody since 31.01.2026; that the recovered contraband from the possession of the accused-petitioner is below commercial quantity; that there are no criminal antecedents of similar nature registered against the accused-petitioner; that the co-accused person, Badal Chouhan S/o Prakash has already been enlarged on bail vide order dated 09.03.2026 by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court; that the trial will take its own time. Hence, this Court without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail. 5. Therefore, the instant bail application under Section 483 BNSS is accordingly, allowed and the accused-petitioner Rahul @ Handi S/o Rakesh Kumar is ordered to be released on bail, provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs. 50,000/- each to the [2026:RJ-JP:22983] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-5013/2026] satisfaction of the Trial Court, with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so. 6.
