Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that it is alleged that the recovery has been made from the applicant's house but no test report is available till date; the applicant was not arrested on the spot; the alleged recovery has not been witnessed by any independent persons and three co-accused persons have already been granted bail in the present case; that the applicant is languishing in jail since 26.08.2025 and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid case. 9.
