Heard the parties.

2. This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of

the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been

preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences

registered under Sections 18, 27(a) and 30 of the NDPS Act. The

case is presently pending in the Court of learned Session-cum-

Special Judge (NDPS), Chatra.

3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the

prayer for anticipatory bail.

4. I have gone through the F.I.R.

5. The allegation against the petitioner is that he along

with others was ploughing the forest land for cultivation of poppy.

There is no seizure of any plant or any materials.

6. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am inclined to release

the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands

allowed. The petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender

before the learned court below within four weeks from the date of

1
2025:JHHC:11697

receipt of copy of this order and on the event of his surrender or

arrest, he shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of

Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like

amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Session-cum-Special

Judge (NDPS), Chatra, in connection with Chatra Sadar P.S. Case

No.58 of 2024, subject to the condition that one of the bailers

should be a close relative of the petitioner and other should be a

resident of State of Jharkhand, having sufficient landed property in

his name or in the name of his ancestors in which he is having

share and to that effect, he has to file an affidavit before the Trial

Court indicating his share in the property.
