The petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No. 306/2024 of Police Station Hindumalkot, District Sriganganagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 8/15 of NDPS Act. He has preferred this bail application under Section 483 of BNSS. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the alleged contraband 34.
920 grams poppy straw has not been recovered from the petitioner and the same was recovered from one Gurmeet Kaur which is below commercial quantity. It is stated that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner and the petitioner is behind the bars since date of arrest and the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application. [2026:RJ-JP:36453] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-10124/2026] This Court has considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner and finds that the alleged contraband 34. 920 grams poppy straw has not been recovered from the petitioner and the same was recovered from one Gurmeet Kaur which is below commercial quantity. Further, there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner and the petitioner is behind the bars since date of arrest and the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude.
Hence, keeping in view of the fact that conclusion of the trial of the case is likely to take time and the prosecution has not shown any apprehension of the petitioner fleeing away from justice, in case he is enlarged on bail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to grant bail to the petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS. Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS is allowed and it is directed that petitioner – Didar Singh S/o Kikar Singh, shall be released on bail in connection with aforesaid FIR, if not wanted in any other case, provided he executes a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs. 50,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
