The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in cultivation of poppy. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and without obtaining FSL report as to whether the seized plants were in fact poppy plants, charge sheet has been submitted against the petitioner in this case.

It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.15 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Spl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge, Seraikella, in connection with Ichagarh P.S.
