According to the prosecution's story, on September 9, 2024, police ofÏcials received information from an informant that two women were in possession of illegal contraband and traveling in a TVS Jupiter vehicle bearing registration number MP 65 ZA-6944. The police intercepted the vehicle and conducted a search, during which they found 99 pieces of Avil Injection, each containing 10ml, and 99 pieces of Buprenorphin injection, each containing 2ml. Consequently, the applicants were taken into custody. 3. None appears nor is any representation made on behalf of the applicants to press this application when the case is called out. 4. It transpires from the record that the applicants are in jail since 09.09.2024. Hence, the Court proceeds to consider and hear the bail application of the applicants with the assistance of the State counsel. 5. Ms. Smrit Shrivastava, learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicants and submits that the alleged contraband articles, which were recovered from the joint possession of the applicants are much above the commercial quantity, therefore, the applicants are not entitled for grant of regular bail. 6. I have heard learned State counsel and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the alleged contraband articles, which were recovered from the joint possession of the applicants are much above the commercial 3 quantity and the applicants have failed to give any explanation for the same and it cannot be a case of false implication. 8. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicants – Mira Singh and Pushpa @ Rani Singh, involved in Crime No. 97/2024 registered at Police Station – Jhagrakhad, District – M.C.B. (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 21(c) and 22(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, is rejected. 9. Needless to say that the trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed and conclude the trial expeditiously. 10. OfÏce is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) ChiefJustice Abhishek
