Sudhanshu Dhulia, J. (Oral)

Heard Mr. V.S. Chauhan, Advocate for the applicant and Mr. T.C. Aggarwal, AGA for the State.

The applicant is in jail having been implicated in FIR No.252 of 2018, which has been registered under Sections 8 and 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and

Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, at Police Station Kotwali Gangnahar, Roorkee, District Haridwar.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in jail since 06.06.2018. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the

“charas†which was allegedly recovered from the applicant was 900 grams which is less than the commercial quantity of 1 Kg. Moreover, the

been able to make out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed accordingly.

Let the applicant be enlarged on bail in the aforesaid crime on his executing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the

satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned/Court concerned.

It is made clear that any observation made by this Court is only for the purpose of deciding the present bail application and the same shall not be taken
