Disclaimer:<\/span> This has been reported after the availability of the order of the Court and not on media reports so as to give an accurate report to our readers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Allahabad High Court:<\/span> In a bail application filed by Vibhor Rana, an accused in Phensedyl Cough Syrup Racket\/ Codeine Cough Syrup Case, a Single Judge Bench of Karunesh Singh Pawar, J., allowed the application. The Court stated that Vibhor Rana was not named in the FIR, and his name has surfaced only in the confessional statements of co-accused. Further, there was no recovery from Vibhor Rana, and the undertaking was also given that he shall not leave Lucknow during the period of bail. Thus, the Court found that the present case was fit for grant of interim bail, accordingly, granted to Vibhor Rana in Codeine Cough Syrup Racket case.<\/p>\n

Background<\/h3>\n

The accused herein, Vibhor Rana, owned a firm that was a super distributor of Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., and he was a licensed distributor engaged in the distribution of pharmaceutical drugs manufactured by Abbott Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. He holds valid licenses under Rule 61(1) and Rule 61(2) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945.<\/p>\n

The prosecution alleged that the co-accused established bogus firms under different names and that transactions of these firms were carried out by accused Vibhor Rana and Vishal Rana using the bank IDs and passwords of their associates and employees, thereby facilitating the illegal sale of the cough syrup. During the investigation of Maruti Medicos, it was allegedly found that Om Medicos, Abhi Pharma, Ashu Medicos, and Vibhor Rana had transactions with G.R. Trading. It was further alleged that Vibhor Rana and Vishal Rana were involved in the illegal smuggling of the cough syrup to various parts of the country and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Vibhor Rana contended that he had been implicated solely based on the confessional statements of two co-accused persons, and no recovery had been made from him. Additionally, the cough syrup was recovered from his co-accused, a wholesaler and owner of the truck in which the syrup was found, who had already been granted bail. Similarly, two other co-accused had also been granted bail.<\/p>\n

Vibhor Rana also contended that a Co-ordinate Division Bench had quashed the entire proceedings initiated against him under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985<\/a> (“NDPS Act”), holding that the Phensedyl cough syrup does not fall within the definition of a narcotic drug and that dealings in the said drug are not governed by the NDPS Act<\/a>. In another case arising out of Malda, West Bengal, titled Vibhor Rana v. Union of India<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a> (‘Vibhor Rana case’)<\/span>, he was discharged on the ground that no offence under the NDPS Act was made out. He further contended that the present case has been wrongly projected as one involving international smuggling, without there being any recovery of the cough syrup from outside the country.<\/p>\n

Analysis and Decision<\/h3>\n

Considering the judgment in Vibhor Rana case (supra)<\/span>, the material available on record, the fact that Vibhor Rana was not named in the FIR and his name surfaced only in co-accused’s, absence of any recovery from him, and his undertaking to not leave Lucknow during the bail period, the Court found the case fit for grant of interim bail. The Court also placed reliance on the judgment of the Supreme Court in Union of India v. Ashok Kumar Sharma<\/span><\/span>, (2021) 12 SCC 674<\/span>,<\/a> wherein it was held that where allegations pertain to offences under Chapter IV of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940<\/a>, registration of an FIR by the police is not warranted unless a separate cognizable offence is made out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accordingly, the application was allowed, and Vibhor Rana was granted bail conditional upon furnishing of a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Magistrate\/Court concerned.<\/p>\n

The matter was listed for 05-01-2026.<\/p>\n
