🇮🇳 Deoria railway station, Deoria, Uttar Pradesh · India
Special NDPS Judge Arvind Mishra in Deoria granted bail to Vishal Kumar, a
resident of Saran district in Bihar, in a case over ganja recovered at the
railway station.[1]The court treated the absence of any independent witness
during the recovery and the fact that the quantity was below the commercial
limit as significant to bail.[1]
The prosecution said Government Railway Police officers found Kumar and
co-accused Anil Ram sitting together at the eastern end of platforms two and
three at Deoria railway station in Uttar Pradesh on 15 October.[1]Officers
searched the two men and recovered five kilograms and 642 grams of ganja, or
5.642 kilograms, from their possession.[1]
Kumar’s lawyer argued that police had falsely implicated him and had not
followed the prescribed procedure for searching a suspect.[1]The defence also
said there was no independent witness to the recovery, while the prosecution
opposed any bail.[1]After hearing both sides, the court granted bail to Kumar
on 5 November.[1]It ordered his release on a personal bond of 100,000 rupees,
with two sureties for the same amount.[1]
