Shri Devershi Thakur, Advocate.

For Non-Applicant/State:

Shri Neeraj Pradhan, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board By 14/07/2015 Heard.

(1) This is an application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the applicant, who has been arrested in connection with crime No.96/2015 registered at Police Station Excise Cell, Tatibandh-Gudhiyari, Distt: Raipur for the offence punishable under Section 20(B) of the NDPS Act. (2) Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that present applicant was found in possession of 1.590 Kg. of Ganja, which she was carrying unauthorizedly for sale.

(3) Counsel for the applicant submits that the statutory compliance as required under the NDPS Act has not been complied with while making seizure of the alleged Ganja and, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. (4) On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

(5) Having heard learned counsel for the parties, having regard to the facts and circumstance of the case and looking to the quantity of ganja and considering the fact that the applicant has to establish the fact of non compliance of the provisions contained in Section 20(B) of the NDPS Act during trial, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case in which the accused/applicant should be granted regular bail. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected.

Certified copy, as per rules.
