IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL ORIGINAL JURISDICTION Dated: Nainital the 21st October, 2008 Criminal Bail Application No. 597 of 2008 Order on the bail application of accused CRIMINAL SIDE Kanchan Rajbir S/o Shri Ram Sarikh …Applicant Versus State of Uttarakhand …Opposite Party Arising out of case crime No. 174 of 2007 Under Section 8/18 N.D.P.S. Act P.S. Rishikesh District Dehradun _______________________________________________________ Hon’ble J. C. S. Rawat, J. Heard Mr. Pawan Mishra, Advocate, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. H. C. Pujari, Addl. G.A. for the State. I have gone through the documents alongwith the bail petition as well as the documents filed alongwith the counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the applicant contended that this is a case of recovery of 100 grams of ‘Charas’ (contraband material), which is not a commercial quantity; and the applicant has no criminal history. From the fact, there are reasonable grounds for believing that the applicant-accused is not guilty of such offence and that he is not likely to commit any such offence while on bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, it is a fit case for bail. Let the applicant-accused be released on bail on executing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate concerned. (J.C.S. Rawat, J.) Dated 21.10.2008 LSR
