RAKESH KAINTHLA
Mehboob – Appellant
Versus
State of HP – Respondent
The petitioner has filed the present petition for seeking regular bail in FIR No. 264 of 2025, dated 30.10.2025, registered at Police Station Sadar Chamba, District Chamba, H.P., for the commission of an offence punishable under Section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS).
2. It has been asserted that, as per the prosecution, the police saw the petitioner on 30.10.2025, at about 6.50 PM near Cafe Ravi View, Chamba. He took something out of his pocket and threw it. The police apprehended him, and he identified himself as Mehboob Khan. The police checked the packet and found 155 grams of charas in it. The petitioner has nothing to do with the commission of crime. He is a permanent resident of Chamba, and there is no chance of his absconding. The petitioner would abide by the terms and conditions that the Court may impose. FIR No. 2 of 2018, dated 03.01.2018, was registered against the petitioner at Police Station Nurpur, District Kangra, HP; however, the petitioner was granted bail in the said FIR. Hence, the petition.
3. The petition is opposed by filing a status report asserting that the police were on patrolling duty on 30.10.
