4. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated and the alleged contraband which is shown to be recovered from the co- accused is commercial quantity i.e. 1.016 kg of Charas but there is no substantial compliance of Section 52A of the NDPS Act and inventory was not prepared.

He further submits that in this case, present applicant has been made an accused for the offence punishable under Section 29 of the NDPS Act and there is no recovery from the present applicant. He further submits that present applicant is languishing in jail since 07.01.2025 and charge sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no need of custodial interrogation of the applicant.

6. After hearing the arguments of learned counsel for the parties and further taking into
consideration that the applicant is languishing in jail since 07.01.2025 and charge sheet has already been filed, therefore, there is no need of the custodial interrogation of the present applicant and co accused Jasbeer has already been enlarged on bail, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves for bail.
7. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case the bail application is allowed.
8. Let the applicant “Prem Lal S/o Mohan Lal” be released on bail on furnishing his personal bond and two sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
9. It is made clear that after being released on bail, applicant shall join the trial proceedings on each and every date and shall not seek any unnecessary adjournment, failing which the trial court shall be at liberty to take appropriate legal action against the applicant including for cancellation of bail.
