    registered at Police Station Beawar Sadar, District Beawar for

    offence under Sections 8 and 15 of the N.D.P.S. Act 1985.

    2. Learned counsel appearing for the accused-petitioner

    ‘Harshit’ submits that no contraband is said to have been

    recovered from his possession. She also submits that there is no

    evidence to connect the accused-petitioner with the other co-

    accused. She further submits that the petitioner has been impli-

    cated as an accused only on the basis of the statements of the co-

    accused namely; Sandeep, Kailashchand and Rahul from whose

    possession Doda Chura weighing 92 kg. 760 gram was recovered..

    It is submitted by the counsel for the petitioner Harshit

    that in case of Tofan Singh Vs. State of T.N. (2021) 4 SCC

    175 the Hon’ble Apex Court observed that the statements of the

    co-accused recorded under Section 67 of the NDPS Act cannot be

    treated to be a confession. She also submits that the accused-

    petitioner is in custody since 01.01.2026 and police after

    completion of the investigation, has already submitted charge-

    sheet.

    3. Learned counsel appearing for the accused-petitioner

    ‘Radheshyam @ Radhe’ submits that the accused-petitioner has

    been implicated in this case with the aid of 8/25 of the NDPS Act.

    She submits that no recovery of any contraband has been made

    from the accused-petitioner and he is in custody since

    26.12.2025.

    4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the second bail

    applications and submits that the contraband involved in the

    present case is more than the commercial quantity and therefore

    in view of the provisions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, accused-

    petitioners do not deserve to be released on bail as there is suffi-

    cient evidence collected during investigation so as to connect them

    with the alleged crime.

    5. Considered the submissions made by the counsel for

    the petitioners as well as learned Public Prosecutor and also

    perused the challan papers.

    6. As per the facts on record, on interception of a vehicle

    alleged contraband i.e. 92.760 kg. Doda Chura was recovered

    and there were three persons in the vehicle namely; Sandeep,

    Kailashchand and Rahul.

    7. The aforesaid co-accused in their statements during

    investigation has revealed that they were going to provide the

    alleged contraband to the accused-Radheshyam @ Radhe after

    purchasing the same from the other co-accused ‘Harshit’, who is

    the cultivator and there is licence in the name of his father. As per

    the charge-sheet, there is no evidence of any call conversation of

    the accused Harshit with the other co-accused.

    8. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that there are call

    details as regards the conversation of the co-accused Radheshyam

    @ Radhe with the other co-accused.

    9. Merely the call details cannot be the only basis for

    conviction of an accused until and unless there is sufficient

    evidence that the call conversation was in regard to the

    transaction of the alleged contraband.

    10. Taking into consideration the overall facts and

    circumstances of the case, the Court feels just and proper to

    record its satisfaction as required under Section 37 of the NDPS

    Act. Hence, this Court without expressing any opinion on the

    merits or demerits of the case, deems just and proper to enlarge

    the accused- petitioners on bail.

    11. Accordingly, the these second bail applications are

    allowed and it is directed that the accused-petitioners shall be

    released on bail provided that they furnish a personal bond in the

    sum of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lax Only) (each) together with

    two sureties in the sum of Rs.50,000/-(Rupees Fifty Thousand

    Only) (each) to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court with the

    stipulation that they shall appear before that Court or any Court to

    which the matter is transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing

    and as and when called upon to do so.

    application.
