1. Prayer in the present petition filed under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short the “BNSS”) is for the grant of pre- arrest bail in case FIR No.238, dated 06.06.2026 registered under Sections 22(c) and 29 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (for short the “NDPS Act”) at Police Station Sadar Yamuna Nagar, District Yamuna Nagar.
2. On 06.06.2026, one Vicky was apprehended and was allegedly found to be in possession of more than 500 capsules of Tramadol weighing 287.35 grams. Upon his interrogation, one Bhavya Behal was named, who was also arrested and on his interrogation, the name of the petitioner surfaced.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. He submits that he was never apprehended at the spot nor was any recovery made from him. He submits that the petitioner has clean antecedents and is willing to join investigation and abide by any condition imposed by the Court.

4. Per contra, learned State counsel submits that a commercial quantity of Tramadol was recovered from the main accused Vicky in whose disclosure statement, one Bhavya Behal having been arrested and the name of the petitioner surfaced. It has been submitted that one other case stands registered against the petitioner i.e. FIR No.158 dated 19.06.2026 under Sections 22(C) of NDPS Act at Police Station Gandhi Nagar, District Yamuna Nagar.
5. I have considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties.
6. Concededly, a commercial quantity of Tramadol was recovered from one Vicky, upon he having been apprehended on 06.06.2026. Upon his interrogation, he named one Bhavya Behal, who upon his arrest named the present petitioner. The petitioner is also involved in one more case under the NDPS Act and is stated to be absconding in the said case as well. In such cases, merely because the petitioner has been nominated upon the disclosure of a co-accused would not make him entitled for the grant of anticipatory bail.
7. In the considered opinion of this Court, keeping in view the commercial quantity of the contraband recovered and the antecedents of the petitioner, custodial interrogation would be imperative to elicit the truth.
8. That being so, the present petition is found to be devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed.
