case. The petitioner was merely a passerby and has nothing to do with the recovery made from the co-accused, who is only a co-villager of the petitioner. The petitioner was apprehended merely on suspicion. Moreover, recovery of smack from the coaccused comes below the commercial quantity. The petitioner is in custody since 13.12.2024 and is having no criminal antecedent. The charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner and co-accused without obtaining the FSL report and such submission of charge sheet is bad in the eyes of law.

¶17

Learned APP opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner. Learned APP submits that the petitioner in conspiracy with other co-accused has been carrying contraband smack.

¶18

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the fact that no recovery has been shown from this petitioner and further considering his clean antecedent and his period of custody and also considering the submission of charge sheet without any FSL report, the petitioner above named is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge, Madhepura/concerned
