Order

17/07/2019

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and also perused the material on record.

The petitioner has been arrested in FIR No. 41/2019 of Police Station Muklawa, District Sriganganagar for the offences punishable under Section 8/21

of NDPS Act. He has preferred this bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, without

expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Pawan Kumar S/o Krishanlal shall be

released on bail in connection with FIR No. 41/2019 of Police Station Muklawa, District Sriganganagar provided he executes a personal bond in a sum

of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that court on

each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.

Further it is suffice to mention here that after having been prepared, the aforesaid order-sheets were sent to me for signature and thereafter, they

were uploaded on High Court Website. However, after some time when it came to knowledge that the order of granting bail which was dictated in

S.B.Cr.Misc. Bail Application No.7183/2019 was typed out in this bail application (S.B.Cr.Misc. Bail Application No.7133/2019) taking all particulars

of S.B.Cr.Misc. Bail Application No.7183/2019, the shorthand diary of Mrs Taruna, in which she took dictations of the aforesaid bail applications as

well as the cause list of Court Master of dated 17.07.2019 were called and got them cross-checked and it was confirmed that the aforesaid mistakes

had occurred.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the order passed in this bail application was inadvertently typed out, the

same is recalled and it is ordered that this application preferred on behalf of petitioner â€" Pawan Kumar son of Krishanlal seeking bail in connection

with FIR No.41/2019 of Police Station, Muklawa, District Sriganganagar is dismissed as not pressed. However, the petitioner will be at liberty to move

a fresh bail application before the trial court after the statements of Investigating Officer are recorded.
