Consequently, the police registered an offense under Section 20(B) of the NDPS Act and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act against the applicant. The applicant was arrested on May 12, 2024, in connection with Crime No. 148/2024. This is a regular bail application on behalf of the applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that this is Second Bail application, the first bail application of the applicant was dismissed on merits.
