HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MADAN GOPAL VYAS Judgment / Order
15/02/2023
The petitioners have been arrested in connection with FIR
No.82/2021 of Police Station Matora, District Jodhpur for the
offences punishable under Sections 8/15 & 25 of NDPS Act. They
have preferred these bail applications under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Heard learned counsel for the parties. Perused the material
available on record.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that as per the
prosecution story, 53.200 kgs poppy straw was recovered from
[2023/RJJD/005397] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-811/2023]
three gunny bags. It is submitted that aforesaid contraband was
recovered in gunny bag. It is further submitted that if the weight
of gunny bag is excluded from the total weight, there is all
possibility that the total weight of the contraband is marginally
excessive to the commercial quantity. However, in identical
matters, the coordinate Bench of this Court has granted benefit of
bail. Learned counsel has produced copies of the order dated
23.04.2019, 04.08.2021, 10.04.2019, 06.05.2019 & 19.05.2021
to buttress his arguments.
Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail
application.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances
of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused
petitioners under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Accordingly, the bail applications filed under Sec.439 Cr.P.C.
are allowed and it is directed that petitioners (1) Mangilal @
M.K. S/o Shri Jagdish Ram & (2) Shaitanram S/o Shri
Arjunram shall be released on bail in connection with FIR
No.82/2021 of Police Station Matora, District Jodhpur provided
they execute personal bonds in a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two
sound and solvent sureties of Rs.50,000/- 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
the completion of the trial.
