¶13

This criminal misc. bail application has been filed by the petitioner under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 in respect of FIR No.326/2025 registered at Police Station Jaisinghpura Khor, District Jaipur City (North) for the offences punishable under Sections 8/20 and 8/21 of NDPS Act.

¶14

It is stated that petitioner is not involved in the offence alleged in the FIR. It is submitted that at the time of arrest, provisions of Sections 42 and 50 of NDPS Act have not been followed in proper manner and recovery of 31 grams of smack has been shown against the petitioner, which is much less than commercial quantity. It is submitted that alleged contraband has already been recovered and nothing more is required to be

recovered from the petitioner and he is behind the bars since 24.09.2025, investigation has already been completed against him. Trial is likely to take considerably long time. Therefore, a prayer has been made to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶19

Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed this bail application.

¶20

Considered the submissions made at Bar.

¶21

In the light of the fact that the contraband recovered from the petitioner is of lesser than the commercial quantity and the petitioner has also disputed the mode of recovery in arrest alleging violation of provisions of Section 42 and 50 of NDPS Act, without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, deems it just and proper to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

Accordingly, this Bail Application is hereby allowed. The accused-petitioner Rohit Bidawat S/o Shri Gopal Bidawat shall be released on bail in pursuance of FIR No.326/2025 registered at Police Station Jaisinghpura Khor, District Jaipur City (North) on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000/- along with two sureties of Rs.1,00,000/- each.
