District Pithoragarh … Applicant Versus State of Uttaranchal … Opposite Party ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arising out of Case Crime No. 21 of 2005 Under Section 20/22 N.D.P.S. Act P.S. Kotwali District Pithoragarh By the court Hon’ble B.C. Kandpal, J The applicant has applied for bail in case crime No. 21 of 2005, Under Section 20/22 N.D.P.S. Act P.S. Kotwali, District Pithoragarh. Heard Smt. Pushpa Joshi, learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. and perused the record. I do not find any merit in the bail application. Hence, the bail application is accordingly rejected. However, it is contended on behalf of the applicant that the applicant is a student of class 12 and his annual examinations are going to be conducted w.e.f. 14.03.2005. This fact has not been controverted by either side. Having considered this ground that the applicant is a student of class- 12 and he has to appear in the annual examination, I think, it would just and proper to grant the applicant short-term bail for a period of 45 days only. The applicant shall be released on short-term bail for 45 days after furnishing personal bond and two sureties of the amount on the terms and conditions to the satisfaction of the C.J.M. concerned. The applicant shall surrender himself before the C.J.M. concerned after expiry of 45 days from the date of his release. (B.C. Kandpal, J.) 09.03.2005 ASWAL
