The petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No.155/2021 of Police Station Hindumalkot, District Sri Ganganagar, for the offence punishable under Section 8/21 in alternate 8/22, 29 of NDPS Act. He has preferred this bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the recovered contraband is below commercial quantity. Counsel further submits that similarly situated co-accused Preetam Singh has already been granted bail by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court. The accused-petitioner is in judicial custody since 09.02.2022 and the trial of the case will take sufficient long time to be concluded. Therefore, the benefit of bail should be granted to the accused-petitioner.
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, the bail application filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Rajesh Kumar @ Raju S/o Sh. Kashmiri Lal, shall be released on bail in connection with FIR No.155/2021 of Police Station Hindumalkot, District Sri Ganganagar, provided he executes a personal bond in a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.1,00,000/- 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.
