[2026:RJ-JP:36292] HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR S. B. Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application No. 9980/2026 CNR: RJHC010695662026 | URN: CRLMB / 21847U / 2026 Salman Khan Alias Salim Khan S/o Shahanwaj Alias Lkha, Aged About 35 Years, R/o Ward No. 5 Gudiya Police Station Tibbi District Hanumangarh. (At Present Judicial Custody At Central Jail, Hanumangarh) ----Petitioner Versus State Of Rajasthan, Through Pp ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Mangilal Vishnoi For Respondent(s) : Mr. Hanuman Prajapati, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE BALJINDER SINGH SANDHU Order 04/08/2026 This application for bail under Section 483 BNSS (439 Cr. P. C. ) has been filed by the petitioner who has been arrested in connection with F. I. R. No. 205/2026 registered at Police Station Tibbi, District Hanumangarh, for offences under Sections 8/21 of the NDPS Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the contraband recovered is 10.
25 Gm of Heroine which is below commercial quantity and same is recovered from Harjeet and not from the petitioner. Further investigation in the matter is complete and charge-sheet has already been filed. So far as the pendency of concerned cases there are two cases of similar nature however, petitioner has not been convicted in any of the cases. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioner is in judicial custody since [2026:RJ-JP:36292] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-9980/2026] 12. 05. 2026 and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time, therefore, the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-petitioner. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. This Court has considered the rival submissions, facts and circumstances of the case as well as perused the material available on record; considering the fact that the contraband recovered is 10. 25 Gm of Heroine which is below commercial quantity and same is recovered from Harjeet and not from the petitioner.
Further investigation in the matter is complete and charge-sheet has already been filed. So far as the pendency of concerned cases there are two cases of similar nature however, petitioner has not been convicted in any of the cases. The petitioner is in judicial custody since 12. 05. 2026. Hence, keeping in view the overall facts and circumstances of the case; conclusion of the trial of the case is likely to take time; the narcotic contraband alleged to be recovered from the petitioner is below commercial quantity; the prosecution has not shown any apprehension of the petitioner fleeing away from justice, in case he is enlarged on bail; but, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS. Consequently, the bail application under Section 483 BNSS (439 Cr. P. C. ) is allowed.
It is ordered that the accused-petitioner Salman Khan Alias Salim Khan S/o Shahanwaj Alias Lkha arrested in connection with FIR No. 205/2026 registered at Police [2026:RJ-JP:36292] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-9980/2026] Station Tibbi, District Hanumangarh, shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000/- and two sureties of Rs. 50,000/- each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for his appearance before that court on each & every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial.
