SRICHAND vs State — 65/2026

Case Summary: 65/2026 - Srichand v. State Decision: The court GRANTED bail to petitioner Srichand in an NDPS Act case (Sections 8/15, 8/29). The petitioner was arrested following recovery of 10.9 kg of opium powder from a vehicle, but had no direct recovery linked to him and was not involved in the investigation. Key Reasoning: Although the State highlighted the petitioner's prior criminal history (four earlier cases involving assault and NDPS violations), the court found that: (1) no recoverable evidence was seized from the petitioner; (2) investigation is ongoing and trial will take time; and (3) considering the case facts and trial duration, bail was justified. The court imposed conditions: two sureties of ₹25,000 each (one being a close relative) and a personal bond of ₹50,000, with mandatory court appearance at each hearing date.
