After following the requisite formalities, Inspector Y.P. Singh along with his squad arrested applicant Hukma at the field and found 309 plants of cannabis being cultivated in his field. It was also found that 557 plants were being cultivated and recovered from the field of applicant Kamal Singh. Though on 25.2.2011 Kamal Singh, Guttu and Banti were not present at the spot but when they appeared before the Inspector, 281 cannabis plants were seized from the field of Guttu and 339 cannabis plants were seized from the field of accused Banti.

Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicants are permanent residents of village Nepri District Morena. Though it has been alleged that in the past also they were cultivating contraband plants but the evidence in that regard was doubtful. Learned counsel further submits that these plants were growing adjacent to their fields on the bank of river but were not growing in their fields.

It is true that though number and quantity of plants found growing in possession of the fields of applicants is quite large, but in view of the fact that applicants are local residents they hold agricultural property in village Nepri, they are in custody since the month of February and March, 2011, there is no restriction under Section 37 of NDPS Act and that the conclusion of trial is likely to take quite sometime, this application is allowed. It is directed that applicants be enlarged on bail on their furnishing personal bond in the sun of Rs. 1 Lac (Rupees One Lac) with a solvent surety in the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial Court for their regular appearance in the trial.
