CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMAN CHAUDHARY ***** Present :

Mr. Amandeep Singh Rai, Advocate, for the petitioner  

   

***** AMAN CHAUDHARY, J. (ORAL) 1.

Prayer in the present petition filed under Section 483 BNSS is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.208 dated 07.08.2025, registered under Sections 21(b) of NDPS Act (Section 29 of NDPS Act added later on)       

     2.

Learned counsel contends that the petitioner, 21 year old, has been in custody for 3 months and 29 days. His name based on the disclosure statement of the co-accused Sahil, from whom non-commercial quantity of contraband, it being 12.15 grams of Smack has been recovered  

  ! Charges have been framed on 16.12.2025, however out of 16 PWs, none has been examined. He is involved in one more case under the NDPS Act, wherein he is on bail. Reliance is placed on the judgment passed by Hon'ble The Supreme Court titled as Maulana Mohd. Amir Rashadi vs. State of U.P. and others, 2012(2) SCC 382.

3.

The custody certificate dated 22.12.2025, filed by the learned State

 CRM-M-71425-2025 (O&M) 2 counsel is taken on record. As per the same, the petitioner is behind bars for 3 months and 29 days.

4.

Learned State counsel opposes the bail on the ground that there are specific allegations against the petitioner levelled by his co-accused Sahil, from whom recovery of contraband has been effected. However, he is unable to controvert the submissions with regard to stage of the trial and the petitioner being on bail in other case.

5.

Heard.

6.

Hon'ble The Supreme Court in the case of Maulana Mohd. Amir Rashadi (supra) had held that, "As observed by the High Court, merely on the basis of criminal antecedents, the claim of the second respondent cannot be rejected. In other words, it is the duty of the Court to find out the role of the accused in the case in which he has been charged and other circumstances such as possibility of fleeing away from the jurisdiction of the Court, etc." 7.
