The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was in illegal possession of 793 gram of opium and from the co-accused – Mukesh Kumar Rajak 470 gram of opium was recovered and thus the total opium recovered was 1.263 gram which comes under intermediate quantity.

It is then submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para –23 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 21.03.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
