Case No. 43/2026, under Section 21(b) of the NDPS Act. 3. An FIR was lodged on 21.05.2026, before the Baghbor Police Station to the effect that on receipt of certain confidential information, the police team went to the house of the accused-applicant and from a cupboard, the police recovered 11 grams of suspected heroin along with 134 plastic empty vials, and one mobile phone and a certain amount of cash. 4. On receipt of the FIR, police registered Baghbor Police Station Case No. 43/2026, under Section 21(b) of the NDPS Act. 5. After completion of the investigation, police filed the charge-sheet against the accused-applicant, vide Charge-sheet No. 32/2026 dated 23.06.2026. The charge was framed by the learned trial court on 31.07.2026 and the matter is pending for evidence. 6. The learned counsel appearing for the accused-applicant submits that the accused-applicant has been arrested on 21.05.2026 itself and since then he is behind the bars. He submits that though as many as four (4) dates have gone, none has appeared for evidence in the instant case. He further submits that since the quantity that has been seized is of intermediate quantity and he is willing to cooperate with the trial, he should be granted bail in this case. 7. The learned Addl. PP, on the other hand, opposes the prayer for bail of the accused-applicant at this stage. 8. TCR in the instant case has been received and the same is perused by this court. Page No.# 3/3 9. On consideration of the materials presently available on record, as well as taking into account that charges have been framed only on 31.07.2026 and the matter is pending for evidence and none of the PWs has been examined, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief to the accused-applicant at this stage. 10. Accordingly, the instant bail application stands dismissed as rejected. JUDGE Miriam Degu (SPA)
