MADAN LAL Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This application for bail under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioner who has been arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.107/2024 registered at Police Station Bagadinagar, District Pali for offences under Ss. 8/15 and 18 of the NDPS Act. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the contraband recovered from the petitioner is below commercial quantity. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioner is in judicial custody and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time, therefore, the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-petitioner. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application.

(2.) Having considered the rival submissions, facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits/demerits of the case, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

(3.) Consequently, the bail application under Sec. 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed. It is ordered that the accused-petitioner Madan Lal S/o Sh Shiv Lal @ Shiv Ram arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.107/2024 registered at Police Station Bagadinagar, District Pali shall be released on bail, if not wanted in any other case, provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000.00 and two sureties of Rs.50,000.00 each, to the satisfaction of learned trial court, for his appearance before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon to do so till completion of the trial.
