1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH JAIPUR ORDER S.B. Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 6168/2009 Shakib vs. State of Rajasthan Dated : 11.09.2009 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH BHAGWATI Mr. M.C. Jain, for the petitioner. Mr. Amit Punia, Public Prosecutor for the State. This order governs the disposal of bail application filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by Shri M.C. Jain Advocate on behalf of the applicant Shakib pertaining to F.I.R. No. 255/2009 at police station Gangapurcity, Sawaimadhopur, in the offence under Section 8/20 and 8/21 of N.D.P.S. Act. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and perused the relevant material available on record. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has canvassed that the quantity of contraband article Charas recovered from the possession of the petitioner, is of course more than the small quantity, but much less than the commercial quantity. The petitioner has been in custody since 26.04.2009. He is 20 years old, hence, he may be granted indulgence of bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application on the ground that keeping any contraband article like that of Charas in possession is offence of grave nature, hence, the petition may be dismissed. 2 5. Having considered the submissions made at the bar and scanned the relevant material on record, I, without expressing any opinion on the merits of case but keeping in view the quantity of Charas recovered from the possession of the petitioner, do not feel inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and the same deserves to be dismissed. 6. In the result, the bail petition filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. on behalf of the accused-petitioner Shakib stands dismissed. (MAHESH BHAGWATI),J. Mak/- 3
