Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there has been alleged recovery of 50 bottles of codeine mixtures and petitioner is in custody for 470 days, although, charge-sheet has been submitted but the trial has not progressed substantially. Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail. Having considered the quantum of recovery in the present case, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Petitioner will renew his prayer for bail after the evidence of independent seizure list witnesses are over. As such prayer for bail of the petitioner in CRM (NDPS) 575 of 2026 is dismissed at this stage. 2 All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
