       Date of Order :: 17th December 2009.


              HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI

       Mr. Bhagirath Bishnoi, for the petitioner.
       Mr. O.P. Singaria, Public Prosecutor.
                                       ...

       BY THE COURT:

The petitioner, accused of offence under Section 8/15 of

the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act with

recovery of 283 kilograms of contraband (Doda Post), applied

for temporary bail to the learned Trial Court with the

submissions that the marriage of his daughter was scheduled

on 25.12.2009.

The learned Trial Court proceeded to reject the prayer for

grant of temporary bail looking to the totality of the

circumstances and the gravity of the accusations against the

petitioner; and with the observations that the certificate

allegedly given by the Gram Panchayat was not bearing any

serial number and then, though a marriage card was produced

but no other supporting affidavit in relation to the facts asserted

had been produced.

2

It is noticed that the second bail application as filed by the

petitioner has been recently dismissed by a Coordinate Bench

of this Court on 15.12.2009 as not pressed.

No supporting documents have been produced by the

petitioner in the present temporary bail application; and in the

totality of the circumstances, this Court does not feel persuaded

to grant indulgence of bail, even temporary, to the petitioner

and, therefore, this application for temporary bail under Section

439 Cr.P.C. moved on behalf of the petitioner Prabhu Ram @

Ramesh S/o Gopa Ram is rejected.

However, if the petitioner makes a request to the learned

Trial Court for attending the essential ceremonies in police

custody, such a request may be given due consideration.

With the observations, aforesaid, the application for

temporary bail stands rejected.

(DINESH MAHESHWARI), J.
