Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Kotwali Ambikapur, District Surguja Chhattisgarh ---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri Amit Singh, Advocate For Respondent/State : Smt. Reena Singh, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 06/02/2020 The applicant has filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is in custody in connection with Crime No.716/2019 registered at police station Kotwali,Ambikapur, district Surguja (CG) for the offence punishable under Section 21(c) of the NDPS Act.

Case of the prosecution in brief is that a secret information was received by the police that the applicant was in possession of 55 pieces of RC cough syrups.

Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 26.11.2019 and looking to the conduct of the prosecution it

is clear that the trial will take time for its conclusion. On the other hand counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Having heard counsel for the parties, considered the totality of the fact, in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on regular bail. Accordingly, his application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is allowed. It is directed that in the event of the applicant's furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
