03 /18.09.2026: This bail application has been filed by the petitioner under Sections 483 & 484 of BNSS, 2023 wherein, prayer has been made for grant of bail as he is in custody for allegedly committing offence punishable under Sections 21(a), 22 and 23 of the NDPS Act.
2. Heard, learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and have also gone through the impugned order.
3. This is the second attempt by the petitioner for grant of bail. His prayer for bail was earlier dismissed as withdrawn on 18.03.2026 in B.A. No. 900 of 2026.
4. Learned State counsel produced the FSL report before this Court and opposes the prayer for bail. He submits that the petitioner along with other were apprehended on the spot and a weighing machine was seized from the pocket of the petitioner and 3.08 grams of narcotic substance from the other accused and as per the FSL report, the said material is Heroin.
5. Considering that the material recovered is heroin, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Ranchi Sadar P.S. Case No. 605 of 2025 arising out of
2026:JHHC:28304
NDPS Case No. 24 of 2026, pending in the Court of learned Judicial Commissioner at Ranchi stands rejected.
6. Accordingly, this bail application is dismissed.
7. It is expected that the FSL report will also be placed before the trial court and the Trial Court should take steps to conclude the trial at the earliest and the prosecution will produce the witnesses at regular interval.
