Hon'ble Mrs. Sunita Agarwal,J.

¶5

Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.

¶6

The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in case crime No. 127 of 2020 under Sections 8/22 of N.D.P.S. Act, Police Station- Janakpuri, District- Saharanpur with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.

¶7

The contention of the learned counsel for the applicant is that by showing false recovery of 320 Alprazolam tablets, which is above commercial quantity, but marginally, the applicant has been falsely implicated. It has been submitted that the mandatory procedure for recovery was not followed. It has been submitted that there is no independent witness of recovery and the recovery is nothing but farce. It has been next submitted that the applicant is innocent; he is in jail since 06.06.2020 and, in case he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶8

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant, but could not point out anything material to the contrary.

¶9

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as also the submissions made, without commenting upon merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.

Let applicant- Sajid s/o Mukarram be released on bail in the aforesaid case crime number on his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following additional conditions, which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-
