1. The accused/applicant seeks regular bail in case FIR No. 455/2024 of
PS Special Cell for offence under Section 8/20/21/25/29 of NDPS Act.
2. Arguments partly heard from the side of accused/applicant but are
deferred for the reason that one of the grounds is grant of anticipatory bail to
two accused persons and on the other hand, according to learned APP the
said order of grant of anticipatory bail has been challenged and is listed
before this Court on 17.07.2025. It would be appropriate if the said petition
is taken up along with this application.

3. Broadly speaking, the arguments advanced today are that the only role
ascribed to the accused/applicant is ownership of the vehicle from which
commercial quantity of contraband was allegedly recovered; that the
accused/applicant was not driving the said vehicle at the time of the alleged
recovery; that the said vehicle was given to the co-accused by Rishabh, who
is nephew of the accused/applicant and there is nothing to show that the
accused/applicant was aware about handing over of the vehicle to the co-
accused and in this regard, learned Senior Counsel for accused/applicant has
referred to the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case titled
Bishwajit Dey vs State of Assam, 2025 SCC OnLine SC 40; and that the
status report falsely states that the accused/applicant did not hand over his
mobile phone to the IO whereas the same was handed over on 05.12.2024
(as per the accused/applicant, no seizure memo was prepared but even the
case diary examined today does not reflect handing over of the mobile
phone).
4. Under these circumstances, list for further arguments on 17.07.2025.
