HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 32013 of 2025 Court No. - 67 HON'BLE KRISHAN PAHAL, J. 1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Ms. Shabana Nizam, learned counsel for the applicant, Ms. Ifrah Islam, learned State Law Officer for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 323 of 2025, under Section 8/22 of The Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station- Line Bazar, District- Jaunpur, during the pendency of trial. 4. As per the allegations of the FIR, the applicant alongwith four other co- accused persons is said to have been apprehended by the police on 16.8.2025 and 160 gram of Heroin is said to have been recovered from their conscious 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. The allegations are per se false and the recovered contraband is below the commercial quantity. The said contraband is stated to have been recovered from the purse being kept by co-accused person Pramila Devi. 6. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant that there is no compliance of mandatory provision of Section 52A of the N.D.P.S.

Talib .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) contraband is Heroin. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 16.8.2025. The applicant is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 7. Learned State Law Officer has vehemently opposed the bail application. 8. Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, without commenting on the merits of the case, prima facie, I find it a fit case for bail. 9.
