After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties wherein there is reference of other cases as well as the order passed by the Coordinate Bench in case crime no. 204 of 2024, which also pertains to the NDPS in which the applicant was enlarged on bail but after taking into consideration the long history of the applicant and most of the cases pertains to NDPS Act it appears that the applicant is the habitual offender. 10. Therefore, I do not find any merit in the bail application. 11. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case the instant bail application is dismissed .
