¶13

The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 of BNSS on behalf of the petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with FIR No.63/2025 registered at Police Station Tapukada, District Bhiwadi for the offence punishable under Section 8/20 of NDPS Act.

¶14

It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Learned counsel submits that alleged recovered contraband ganja (1 kg and 116 gms) is below commercial quantity. He further submits that there are no criminal antecedents against the petitioner of similar nature and trial of the case will take considerable time in its conclusion. He argues that the petitioner is in custody since 09.03.2025 and further custody of the petitioner would not serve any fruitful purpose.

[CRLMB-4494/2025]

Learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that two other criminal cases have been registered against him.

¶19

I have considered the contentions.

¶20

Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case; considering the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner, especially the fact that alleged recovered contraband ganja is below commercial quantity; absence of criminal antecedents of similar nature and trial will take time in its conclusion as well as looking to the period of custody, but without commenting anything on the merits/demerits of the case, I deem it proper to allow the bail application.

¶21

This bail application is accordingly allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioner- Sukhdev Singh S/o Hardutt Singh shall be released on bail provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) together with two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court with the stipulation that he shall appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.

¶22

It is made clear that the accused-petitioner shall not involve in any other offence(s) during currency of the bail and he shall mark his presence in first week of every month in the concerned police station, till trial is concluded.

¶23

Concerned SHO is directed to maintain a register recording

the attendance of the petitioner, as directed above. In case the petitioner fails to mark his presence in the concerned police station, as directed above, the concerned SHO is directed to immediately report the matter to the concerned Court in this regard.

¶28

If any breach of these conditions is reported or come to the notice of the Court, the same shall alone be a reason for the trial Court to cancel the bail granted to him by this Court.
