Order
24/08/2026
1. This bail application has been filed by the accused petitioners u/S 483 BNSS in connection with FIR No. 67/2026 registered at Police Station Pagaria, District Jhalawar for offence u/S 8/18 of the NDPS Act.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the Public Prosecutor.
3. Learned counsel for the accused petitioners submits that during patrolling by the police, the accused petitioners were stopped and searched and a total of 62 gm. of illegal drug opium was recovered from their possession. He further submits that the
(2 of 3) [CRLMB-11399/2026] recovery effected from the possession of the accused petitioners is less than the commercial quantity. He further submits that the accused petitioner are behind the bars since 11.07.2026, therefore, the petitioners may be released on bail.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the bail application and submits that there is a recovery of 62 gm. opium from the possession of the petitioners, therefore, they do not deserve indulgence of bail by this Court.
5. Considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned Public Prosecutor.
6. The allegation against the petitioners relates to commission of offence under the provisions of Section 8/18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and the alleged recovery from her is of 62 gm. opium which is stipulated to be less than the commercial quantity. The restriction for grant of bail under the provisions of Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act does not apply in the present case.
7. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Puranmal Jat Vs. State of Rajasthan in Criminal Appeal No.3394/2023 arising out of SLP (Crl.) No.10670/2023 decided on 02.11.2023 has enlarged the accused therein on bail and observed as under:- “The allegations against the appellant relate to commission of offence under the provisions of Sections 8 and 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (hereinafter called “the Act”). Alleged recovery from him is
(3 of 3) [CRLMB-11399/2026] about 35 kgs. and 150 grams Doda Posh (Poppy straw). The commercial quantity for poppy straw is 50 kgs. The appellant is in custody for over seven months. Charge-sheet has been submitted in the case. The recovered contraband item having weight less than the stipulated commercial quantity, the restriction on grant of bail under Section 37 of the Act does not apply in his case. We do not think his continued detention pending trial is necessary in the given circumstances.”
8. Having regard to the submissions and the discussion made above, this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits/demerits of the case, deems just and proper to enlarge the accused-petitioners on bail.
9. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed and it is directed that accused-petitioners shall be released on bail provided that they furnish a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lac Only), together with two sureties in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) to the satisfaction of the Trial Court with the stipulation that they shall appear before that Court or any Court to which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
10. In case the accused-petitioners are found to be involved in any other criminal case of similar nature in future, the prosecution may move application for cancellation of her bail. (GANESH RAM MEENA),J Gaurav Srivastava /224
