recovery has been made from the personal or conscious possession of the petitioner and the recovery is of intermediate quantity and quite less than commercial quantity. The petitioner is in custody since 10.06.2025 and although he has criminal antecedents, but no antecedent is of one under NDPS Act. Further, the charges have been framed on 11.12.2025.

¶19

Learned APP for the State opposed the grant of bail on the ground of quantum of recovery, his criminal antecedents and also the fact that the prayer for bail of similarly situated co-accused, namely Usman @ Phecha @ Phejja has already been rejected by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 19.11.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No.78612 of 2025, with direction to the Court to expedite the trial and conclude the same at the earliest.

¶20

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances and considering the fact that prayer for bail of similarly situated co-accused has already been rejected by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, this Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected in connection with Bardaha P.S. Case No.39 of 2025.

¶21

However, the charges having been framed on
