Shambhu Paswan @ Sambhu Paswan v. State of Jharkhand
Case brief
What is this about?
Shambhu Paswan @ Sambhu Paswan; bail application B.A. No.3248 of 2026 under Sections 483 & 484 BNSS 2023; offence under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c) and 22(c) NDPS Act; 15 kg ganja recovered, caught red handed; Dhanbad P.S. Case No. 220 of 2025 / NDPS Case No. 16 of 2025, Principal District and Sessions Judge, Dhanbad; custody since 21.06.2025; earlier withdrawal BA No. 11129 of 2025 (18.02.2026); co-accused bail BA No. 2140 of 2026 (18.03.2026) by coordinate Bench; bail rejected, application dismissed; trial to conclude within 7 months; Ananda Sen, J.; High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi; 08.05.2026.
What did the court decide?
The court is not inclined to grant the privilege of bail because 15 kg of ganja was admittedly recovered from the petitioner's physical possession and he was caught red handed; his custody since 21.06.2025 is observed not to be a very long period.
