¶6

Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that 58.33 gm Alprazolam is alleged to have been recovered from the possession of the applicant. In fact no such recovery was effected from the applicant. It is further submitted that the alleged recovery is false, concocted and planted. It is next submitted that since such recovery is not supported by independent witness, possibility of his false implication in the crime cannot be ruled out. It is next contended that in the present case the prosecution has failed to follow strictly the provisions of Section 50 of the N.D.P.S. Act. It is also argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime with a view to cause unnecessary harassment and victimize him. The applicant who is in jail since 11.06.2019 having no criminal history to his credit, deserves to be released on bail. In case the applicant is released on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
