Learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that nothing has been recovered from the possession of this petitioner. The witnesses of the seizure list are police personnel only. The police have not complied with Section 105 of the BNSS while making the seizure. The petitioner is in custody since 31.07.2025 and has a criminal antecedent of one case. 6. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and has stated that the learned Trial Court recorded that this petitioner has criminal antecedents of five cases. However, from perusal of paragraph 60 of the case diary, it appears that the petitioner has only one criminal antecedent. 6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 399 of 2025 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned ACJM-VI, Danapur, Patna.
