HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH AT BILASPUR
MCRC No. 7042 of 2025
Jameel Beg Versus State of Chhattisgarh
MCRC/7057/2025
Order Sheet
04/09/2025 Heard Mr. Shikhar Sharma, learned counsel appearing
for the applicants. Also heard Mr. Amit Verma, learned Panel
Lawyer appearing for the non-applicant/State.
Learned counsel for the applicants submit that the
applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in
this case. He submits that the applicant Jameel Beg was not
even present at the spot and no recovery has been made
from him, as the same has been recovered from the
possession of the accused- Pawan and Yaman. He further
submits that with regard to the earlier NDPS case registered
against the applicant namely Jameel Beg and his wife, the
applicant has already been acquitted by the trial Court vide
judgment dated 01.05.2025. Hence, the allegation that he has
repeated the same offence is baseless.
On the other hand learned State counsel submits that
the applicants are involved in the present case. Although no
recovery of any incriminating article has been made from the
pointing out or possession of the applicant-Jameel, the
contraband article was recovered from the co-accused,
namely Pawan Kumar Shriwas and Yaman Prakash Patel.
They were riding another motorcycle and were found in
possession of 9.00 kg of Ganja. Their bail application (No.
7057/2025) is also listed for consideration today. He further
submits that the applicant, Jameel Beg, was also wanted in
another NDPS case registered against him and his wife under
Section 20(B)(ii)(b) of the NDPS Act, in which 3.920 kg of
Ganja was recovered. Although he was acquitted by the
learned trial Court on 01.05.2025 in that case, the FIR in the
present matter was registered against him on 09.06.2025,
which clearly shows that he has again indulged in the same
offence. It is further submitted that the applicant has been in
custody since 26.07.2025.
Considering the nature of allegation levelled against the
applicants and the period of detention in jail and the recovery
being made, let the matter be listed again in the month of
November, 2025.
