Learned counsel for the Applicant makes a submission that the Applicant has falsely been implicated in the instant case; there is no independent witness of the alleged recovery made by the police. 6. It is further submitted that absence of the inventory report constitutes a violation of the procedure under Section 52-A in the NDPS Act. 7. Learned counsel for the Applicant further makes a submission that the Applicant is in jail since 13.04.2024 i.e. for last more than 16 months and the trial is still pending and it does not seem to be completed in the year future. It is, therefore, submitted 2025:UHC:9260 here that it has already been six months after charges have been framed upon the Applicant and till date no prosecution evidence have been done. The conclusion of the trial will take a considerable time to get concluded, therefore, the Applicant is entitled to be released on bail. 8. Learned State counsel vehemently opposed the bail application as the Exhibit 1 gave positive test for Charas and the 1st Bail Application No.1702 of 2024 was rejected by this Court on 20.02.2025 and there is no new ground in the present bail application except the delay in the trial proceedings. 9. Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties but without expressing any opinion about the final merits of the case, the Applicant is admitted to bail on furnishing bail bond with two sureties in the amount of ₹30,000/- and personal bond of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court concerned. 10. Accordingly, the 1st Bail Application stands allowed.
