Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that Police of Police Station - Tongpal, District- Sukma (C.G.) received secret information from the informant alleging that some unknown persons have kept illegal contraband Ganja in their vehicle to sale and police has seized 117.180 kgs contraband from open place thereafter, the offence has been registered against the applicants. 3. It is argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicants have falsely been implicated in this case and the contraband article I.e., Ganja was not seized from the exclusive possession of the applicants. He further submits that prosecution agency has not followed the provisions under Section 42 of the NDPS Act and not taken search warrant from the superior authority. He further submits that applicants have no criminal antecedents, charge-sheet has already been filed in the present case, the applicants are in jail since 25.07.2023 and the conclusion of trial is likely to take some time, therefore, he prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the bail application and submits that applicants are resident of the State of Uttar Pradesh and total 23 packets of contraband article (Ganja) i.e.,117. 180 Kgs have been recovered from the joint possession of the present applicants, which is more than the commercial quantity, as such, she is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, allegation levelled against the present applicants and further considering the fact that total 23 3 packets of contraband article (Ganja) i.e.,117.180 Kgs have been recovered from the joint possession of the present applicants, and it cannot be a case of false implication, this court does not find it to be a fir case to release the applicants on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicants- Shrirajees Salkin, Shamim Ahmad, Wasim Ahmad involved in Crime No. 15/2025 registered at Police Station - Tongpal, District- Sukma (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 20 B (ii)(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, is rejected at this stage. 8.
