                   APP for the State.

                                2. The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection

                   with Chitragupta Nagar P.S. Case No. 110 of 2026 registered for

                   the offence punishable under Sections 8(c), 21, 22(c), 25 and 29

                   of the N.D.P.S. Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that two

                   persons in an auto were found. They were having a bag and in

                   that bag, there was huge amount of intoxicating medicines. They

                   were being asked, and they stated that they had brought the

                   same from one Mehta, and from the compound of Mehta, the

                   recovery of certain medicines was made.

                                                      2/2




                    committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this

                    case. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the

                    petitioner has been framed in this case on the basis that the

                    petitioner is the guard of the Mehta Compound and nothing has

                    been recovered from the possession of the petitioner, only keys

                    were recovered. Moreover, a statement has been made in para 3

                    of the petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he

                    is languishing in judicial custody since 13.04.2026.

                                 5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP

                    for the State.

                                 6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

                    considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is

                    inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

                    petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail

                    bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties

                    of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned

                    Sessions Judge/ Special Judge (NDPS Act), Patna in connection

                    with Chitragupta Nagar P.S. Case No. 110 of 2026.
