Ms. Alka Sharma, Ld. Adv. for the applicant/accused.
Mr. B. G. Rajput, Ld. A.P.P. for the respondent/State.
ORDER
1.

The applicant/accused, who was arrested in Bandra police
station L.A.C. No.186/2018, has filed this application under Section
439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for release on bail on the
grounds mentioned in the application.

2.

BA 790/18 in RA 1033/18
The application is opposed by the Investigating Officer by
filing reply dated 02/11/2018 on the various grounds mentioned in the
reply.
3.

Heard the arguments submitted by the learned Advocate
Ms. Alka Sharma for the applicant/accused and the learned A.P.P.
Mr. B. G. Rajput for the respondent/State and perused the police
papers.
3.

As per the prosecution case, allegedly on 20/10/2018, as
per the secret information received, raid was conducted against the
applicant/accused and contraband Mephedron (M.D.) weighing 20
grams was seized from his possession. As per the prosecution case, the
value of said contraband is Rs.50,000/­.
4.

The I.O. has contended in his reply that as per the
interrogation with the applicant/accused, the applicant/accused had
possessed the said contraband for the purpose of illegal sale. The I.O.
has
further
contended
that
from
the
enquiry
with
the
applicant/accused, the name of one person Bunty is revealed and the
said accused is to be arrested. The I.O. has raised an apprehension that
if the applicant/accused is released on bail, he may abscond and he
may commit similar type of offence.
5.

Thus, the alleged contraband seized from the possession of
the applicant/accused is above small quantity, but, below commercial
quantity. Therefore, there is no bar of Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act for
­3­
BA 790/18 in RA 1033/18
grant of bail to the applicant/accused. The applicant/accused has
produced photocopy of Aadhar card as a proof of his residential
address. Any previous criminal cases against the applicant/accused are
not reported by the I.O. in his reply. If certain conditions are imposed
against the applicant/accused while granting bail to him, the purpose
of securing his presence with the I.O. for interrogation whenever
necessary will be served. Hence, I pass the following order :­
