Order No.03 Dated- 29-04-2026
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection
with Telaiya P.S. Case No.12 of 2026 registered for the offences
punishable under Sections 8(b), 15, 17, 18, 22, 27, 29 of NDPS Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation
against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in cultivation of
poppy crops. It is next submitted that the allegations against the
petitioner are all false. It is then submitted that the charge sheet has been
submitted, but no witness has been examined as yet. It is further
submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the
case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the
informant/victim or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the
trial of the case. It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal
antecedent as has been mentioned in para-18 of this bail application. It is
lastly submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since
18.01.2026 as is evident from para-19 of this bail application. Hence, it
is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.
The learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as
discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on
bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on
furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with
two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions
Judge-cum-Special Judge, NDPS Act, Koderma in connection with
Telaiya P.S. Case No.12 of 2026 with the condition that the petitioner
will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile
number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that
he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with
further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the
witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
