Counsel for Applicant :- Rahul Kumar Sharma,Vipul Babu Sharma Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Ashutosh Srivastava,J. Supplementary affidavit filed today by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Arimardan Yadav, learned A.G.A. for the State-Respondent and perused the record of the case. The present bail application has been filed on behalf of applicant with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 220 of 2024, under Section 8/20 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station G.R.P., District Mathura. Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that 4 Kg Ganja is alleged to have been recovered from the possession of the applicant, which is below the commercial quantity. In fact no such recovery was effected from the applicant. It is further submitted that since such recovery is not supported by independent witness, possibility of his false implication in the crime cannot be ruled out. It is next contended that in the present case the prosecution has failed to follow strictly the provisions of Section 50 of the N.D.P.S. Act. There is no report of chemical analyst. It is also argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present crime with a view to cause unnecessary harassment and victimize him. The applicant has criminal history of six cases to his credit, which has been explained in the supplementary affidavit. The applicant is in jail since 16.07.2024 and there is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. In case the applicant is released on bail he will not misuse the liberty of bail. Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre-trial stage who is involved in supplying contraband, therefore, the applicant does not deserve any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activity. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Without expressing any opinion on the merits, let the applicant Kaushal Verma, involved in the aforesaid case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :- 1.
