Heard Sri Prabhat Kumar Pandey, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri V.K.S. Parmar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.763 of 2026, under Section 8/21/60 of The Narcotic Drugs And Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, Police Station- Highway, District- Mathura, during the pendency of trial. 4. 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 applicant was simply a pillion rider on the scooty from which the said contraband was recovered. A false recovery of 1172 grams of heroin has been foisted on both the applicant and co-accused person. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant has further argued that the applicant was not in conscious possession of the said contraband. The role of being in conscious possession of the contraband can only be attributed to co-accused Imran. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 4.8.2026. The applicant is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
