Decided On November 04, 2023
GOVIND SINGH Appellant
V/S
STATE OF RAJASTHAN Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The jurisdiction of this Court has been invoked by way of filing this fifth application under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. at the instance of accused-petitioner. The requisite details of the matter are tabulated herein below: <FRM>JUDGEMENT_37_LAWS(RAJ)11_2023_1.html</FRM>

(2.) It is contended on behalf of the accused-petitioner that there is no material to connect the petitioner with the alleged offence. The co-accused Jitendra, who was also carrying the alleged narcotic substance and who happens to be the owner of the vehicle, has been released on bail. The embargo contained under Sec. 37 of NDPS Act is not attracted in this case. No case for the alleged offences is made out against him and his incarceration is not warranted. There are no factors at play in the case at hand that may work against grant of bail to the accused-petitioner and he has been made an accused based on conjectures and surmises.

(3.) Contrary to the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail application and submits that the present case is not fit for enlargement of accused on bail.
