Introduction:

Rimpy, a 31-year-old resident of Sadul Shahar, District Sri Ganganagar, filed a Criminal Miscellaneous Bail Application (No. 6628/2023) before the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan at Jodhpur. He sought bail in connection with FIR No. 417/2018 registered at Police Station Sadul Shahar, District Ganganagar, under Sections 8/22 and 8/29 of the NDPS Act.

Facts:

The petitioner, Rimpy, was arrested for alleged violations of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. It was reported that 700 tablets, weighing 400 grams and containing the narcotic substance tramadol, were recovered at his instance. Rimpy had been in custody since November 18, 2018. The prosecution had to examine a total of 13 prosecution witnesses, but only the statements of 6 witnesses had been recorded thus far. It was anticipated that the trial would take a considerable amount of time.

Rimpy was ordered to be released on bail in connection with FIR No. 417/2018 upon furnishing a personal bond of Rs.1,00,000/- along with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each. This bond was to be provided to the satisfaction of the learned trial court.
