He further submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 04.02.2025 and the alleged contraband “smack”, which is shown to be recovered from the main accused Sukhvinder @ Bittu is much below the commercial quantity. He further submits that since charge-sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the applicant. 5. On the other side, learned State Counsel has not disputed this fact that main accused Sukhvinder @ Bittu from whose possession recovery has been shown has already been enlarged on bail and applicant is accused of Section 29 read with Section 8 / 21 of the NDPS Act and is languishing in jail since 04.02.2025. 6. After hearing the arguments of learned counsel for the parties and further taking into consideration that charge-sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the applicant and applicant is languishing in jail since 2025:UHC:8755 04.02.2025 and main accused Sukhvinder @ Bittu has already been enlarged on bail, therefore, this Court is of the view that applicant deserves for bail 7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, the bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant “Raju @ Bhupendra Singh, son of Gurdeep Singh” be released on bail on furnishing his personal bond and two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
