The petitioners seek regular bail in connection with N.D.P.S. Case No. 06 of 2021 arising out of Sherghati (Dobhi) P.S. Case No. 386 of 2022 lodged under Sections 20(ii)(c)/22(c) of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985.

As per the prosecution case, 5 persons were arrested upon chase by the police on NH-2 and from the seizure list, it transpires that N.D.P.S. material has been recovered from the pocket of accused Dharmendra Singh @ Dharmendra Singh Yadav and with other accused persons, mobile, money and other materials are recovered but not the N.D.P.S. material. Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the antecedents of all the petitioners are clean and they are in

3/4 custody since 22.05.2022. All were apprehended from the place of occurrence. Counsel for petitioner Dharmendra Singh @ Dharmendra Singh Yadav submits that it is true that recovery of N.D.P.S. material 135 gm has been made from his possession but the said quantity is in between small quantity and commercial quantity. They also submits that they are ready to fulfill all the conditions whatsoever shall be imposed upon them by the Court.

Learned counsel put emphasis on this point that at the time of preparation of a seizure list, there are gross violation of Section 100(2) of Cr.P.C. have been made as well as compliance of Section 50 of the N.D.P.S. has also not been made. Learned counsel for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail and submits that though recovery has been made from the possession of only one accused person but it has come in the F.I.R. that all were sitting on the same vehicle and when police has stopped them, then they have opened the door and started fleeing away from the place of occurrence and police has arrested them on chase.

In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, let the petitioners above named, be granted bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.30,000/- (Rupees Thirty thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Spl. Judge,

4/4 N.D.P.S., Gaya in connection with Sherghati (Dobhi) P.S. Case No. 386 of 2022, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 437(3) of Cr.P.C. with other following conditions: A.
