In Thakur Shanni Pratap Singh @ Shanni vs. The Union of India NCB New Delhi (2026), Dr. Gopal Krishna appeared on April 10, 2026 for the petitioner before Justice Rudra Prakash Mishra to submit that this is the second attempt for regular bail in a case related to recovery of 544 kg of Ganja from a truck.
This is an application for regular bail in connection with NCB Case No. 14 of 2023 instituted for offence under Sections of the Penal Code and under Sections 8(c), 20(b)(ii)(c), 25 and 29 of the NDPS Act.
Dr Krishna submitted that the petitioner is in custody since November 4, 2023. He has no role in the offence. There was no recovery from the petitioner. The car on which was traveling has been released. He was sitting in the back of the car. He is not the owner of Ganja or the truck. e is not related to the truck in any manner. Nothing incriminating recovered from him. He was arrested on a mere confession of the driver of the car to the police officer.
Dr. Krishna also pointed out the Petitioner, in stark contrast to the other accused, does not have any identifiable role. There is absence of any independent evidence establishing his active role, and given that he was merely a back-seat passenger unnamed in the original intelligence, there are clearly reasonable grounds for believing that the Petitioner is not guilty of the offences charged. The Petitioner has absolutely no criminal antecedent.
The matter is listed for April 17.
