 CORAM:HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ILESH J. VORA

                             Date : 03/06/2026
                               ORAL ORDER


1.      Rule. Learned APP waives service of Rule on behalf of
        respondent State.


2.      The applicant, by way of this application filed under Section
        483 of the BNSS, seeks regular bail in connection with the FIR
        being C.R. No. 11192050260248 of 2026 registered with
        Sanand Police Station, Dist. Ahmedabad Rural, for the
        offences punishable under Sections 8(c), 22(b) and 29 of NDPS
        Act, 1985.


3.      It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that he
        is   suffering    confinement    since   06.04.2026.      He    further
        submitted that the applicant has not played any vital role in the
        alleged offence. Hence, further detention of the applicant is
        unwarranted.


4.      Learned APP has opposed the bail application contending that,

     R/CR.MA/12252/2026                                 ORDER DATED: 03/06/2026




        considering the conduct of the applicant and nature of
        accusation, the discretion may not be exercised in favour of the
        applicant.


5.      Having heard the learned counsel for the respective parties and
        upon perusal of the material placed on record, it appears that
        the investigation is already over and the contraband drugs were
        found with the accused No. 1. The present applicant has been
        arraigned on the basis of the statement of the co-accused.
        Nothing has been found or recovered from the applicant herein
        and he has no past antecedent. In such circumstances, I am
        inclined to exercise discretion in favour of the applicant, as
        keeping the applicant behind bars would not serve any useful
        purpose. Hence, the bail application is allowed.


                In such circumstances, considering the role attributable
        to present applicant herein and evidence in support of charge,
        without commenting on merits of the matter, I deemed it fit to
        release the applicant on bail. Hence, present application is
        allowed.


6.      Hence, the applicant is ordered to be released on regular bail in
        connection with the FIR being C.R. No. 11192050260248 of
        2026       registered   with    Sanand       Police   Station,       Dist.
        Ahmedabad Rural,               on executing a personal bond of
        Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousands only), with one surety of
        the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court
        and subject to the conditions that he shall:


         No.                            Conditions
