Heard Shri Ashok Kumar Singh Bais, learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Punit Kumar Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record of the case.

¶8

The present bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed on behalf of applicant, Chunnu Alias Arshad with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 93 of 2025 under Section 8/29 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station- Chilkana , District- Saharanpur.

¶9

Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that applicant was neither arrested from the spot nor any recovery was effected from his person. 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. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that co-accused Aawesh alias Gejju has already been enlarged on bail by this Court on 8.10.2025 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 32911 of 2025. The applicant, who is in jail since 30.6.2025 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.

¶10

Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant, but submits that similarly circumstanced aforesaid co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court.
