As per the allegations of the FIR, the applicant is said to have been apprehended by the police on 01.06.2025 and 14.2 Kg of Ganja is said to have been recovered from his possession. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case with a view to cause unnecessary harassment and to victimize him. It is argued that the alleged recovered contraband is below commercial quantity. There is no compliance of mandatory provision of Section 52-A of the N.D.P.S. Act and Section 105 BNSS. The applicant is languishing in jail since 01.06.2025 having no criminal history to his credit. The applicant is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application.
