Shanti Lal vs Union Of India

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.1/2021 of Police Station CBN Chittorgarh, District Chittorgarh for the offences punishable under Sections

8/15 of NDPS Act. He has preferred this bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that narcotic contraband poppy husk/straw alleged to have been recovered in the matter is 37 kg 100

gms, which is below commercial quantity.

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 Shanti Lal S/o Sh. Udai Ram shall be

released on bail in connection with FIR No.1/2021 of Police Station CBN Chittorgarh, District Chittorgarh 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.
