The petitioner is in custody in connection with Sonbarsa P.S. Case No. 14 of 2024 for the offence punishable under Sections 21(b) and 21(c) of the N.D.P.S. Act, lodged on 09.01.2024 by the informant, Vijay Kumar.

¶13

As per the prosecution story, the police on secret information from Intelligence Branch intercepted a tempo and there is recovery/seizure of Win Cirex Cough Syrup 120 bottles, Codedyl-T Cough Syrup 600 bottles and Codilwell Cough Syrup 100 bottles. This led to the F.I.R.

¶16

The petitioner do not have criminal antecedent and he is not the owner of the tempo which belongs to Md. Munna Sheikh and being the driver, had no knowledge that the passenger has left out the materials which led to his implication. His long custody has put his family in starvation, he being the only bread earner of his family.

¶17

Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the recovery/seizure is from the tempo.

¶18

Taking into account the aforesaid submissions put forward by the parties, as also the fact that the recovery/seizure is below the commercial quantity, he has remained in custody since 10.01.2024, has no criminal antecedent and will diligently be appearing in the trial, this Court is inclined to extend him the privilege of bail with conditions.

¶19

Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, Sitamarhi, in connection with Sonbarsa P.S. Case No. 14 of 2024, subject to the following conditions:
