S.B. CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION NO. 7265/2008 Sukhvindre @ Sukhaa vs. State of Raj. 13.10.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI, J. Ms. Anisha Jain, for the petitioner. Mr. Jinender Jain, Public Prosecutor. This order governs the disposal of bail application filed by Ms. Anisha Jain, Advocate on behalf of the applicant Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa pertaining to F.I.R. No. 76/2008 of Police Station Bhinai, District Ajmer in the offence under Section 8/15 of the NDPS Act. The accused Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa is alleged to have been found in possession of two canvass bags each containing 40 Kg Doda post and one plastic bag lying in Dicky of Car DL-3CU-7565 containing 20 Kg opium post. When the Car was intercepted by the Police, the accused Sukhvindre was found sitting on driver seat who had no license to possess or carry contraband articles. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Public Prosecutor for the State and perused the material on record. The learned counsel for the accused petitioner has contended that the alleged recovered Doda post falls within the ambit of small quantity as per the schedule annexed in NDPS Act 1985. He has been in custody for the last six months and the trial of the case is likely to take time, hence, the accused may be released on bail. The learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail petition primarily on the ground that the bail petition of the co- accused Ramesh @ Rameshwar has been dismissed by the Co-ordinate Bench. The accused Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa belongs to District Patiyana (Panjab) and has been found in trafficking of contraband articles. The trafficking of contraband articles is a menace to the society which needs to be dealt with stringently. Since the accused Ramesh has been denied bail by the Co-ordinate Bench, the petition of Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa be also dismissed as the case of both the accused is similar. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and scanned the material on record, I do not find this case to be a fit one wherein the bail can be granted to the accused Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa and his petition deserves to be outrightly dismissed. In the result, the bail petition filed on behalf of the accused petitioner Sukhvindre @ Sukkhaa under Section 439 of Cr.P.C stands dismissed accordingly. (MAHESH BHAGWATI)V.J. PCG
