05.05.2026 in S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 6354/2026.
Counsel submits that the petitioner has been implicated as an
accused on the basis of the information furnished by the co-
accused persons. Counsel further submits that the petitioner is not
a habitual offender and he does not have any criminal antecedents
and no other case under the NDPS Act has been registered against
him on an earlier occasion. Counsel submits that the petitioner
has been in custody since the date of his arrest i.e. 22.06.2026.
Counsel further submits that the trial will take its own time to
conclude, therefore, indulgence of bail be granted to the
petitioner.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the argument
raised by counsel for the petitioner.
4. Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and
perused the material available on record.
5. Perusal of the record indicates that the recovery of 9.60 gram
of MDMA contraband has been effected at the instance of the co-
accused person Sandeep, who has already been granted
indulgence of bail by Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order
dated 21.04.2026 in S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.
6091/2026 with the following observations in para Nos. 5,6, 7 and
8 as under:
“5. The allegation against the petitioner relates to
commission of offence under the provisions of
Sections 8, 22, 25 of the Narcotic Drugs and
Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 and the alleged
recovery from him is of 9.6 gram MDMA, which is
stipulated to be less than commercial quantity. The
restriction for grant of bail under the provisions of
Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act does not apply in
the present case.

6. The Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Puranmal
Jat Vs. State of Rajasthan in Criminal Appeal
No.3394/2023 arising out of SLP (Crl.)
No.10670/2023 decided on 02.11.2023 has
enlarged the accused therein on bail and observed
as under:-
“The allegations against the appellant
relate to commission of offence under
the provisions of Sections 8 and 15 of
the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic
Substances Act, 1985 (hereinafter
called “the Act”). Alleged recovery from
him is about 35 kgs. and 150 grams
Doda Posh (Poppy straw). The
commercial quantity for poppy straw is
50 kgs. The appellant is in custody for
over seven months. Charge-sheet has

of 3) [CRLMB-6091/2026] been
submitted in the case. The recovered
contraband item having weight less
than the stipulated commercial
quantity, the restriction on grant of bail
under Section 37 of the Act does not
apply in his case. We do not think his
continued detention pending trial is
necessary in the given circumstances.”
7. Having regard to the submissions made above,
this Court without expressing any opinion on the
merits or demerits of the case, deems just and
proper to enlarge the accused- petitioner on bail.
8. Accordingly, the present bail application is
allowed and it is directed that the accused-
petitioner shall be released on bail provided that
he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of
Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lax Only) 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 he 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.”
6. Looking to the fact that the indulgence of bail has already
been granted to the main accused persons and the case of the
present petitioner is at par with them, hence, under these

circumstances, this Court finds no reason to take a different view.
This Court deems it just and appropriate to grant indulgence of
bail to the petitioner under Section 483 BNSS.
7. Accordingly, the instant bail application under Section 483
B.N.S.S. is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner
Satveer Dhaka S/o Shri Ranjeet Singh, arrested in connection
with aforementioned FIR, may be released on bail; provided he
furnishes a personal bond of Rs.50,000/- with two surety bonds of
Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court with
the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing
and as and when called upon to do so.
