Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that although the State is trying to impress upon this Court that there are criminal antecedents of the present petitioner but the petitioner is on bail in rest of the cases. Today a report has been submitted which reflects in 5 of the cases petitioner has been granted bail and petitioner is presently detained only in connection with the instant case. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner further submits that petitioner is in custody for 506 days and the quantum of Codine Phosphate recovered so far as the present petitioner is concerned is 1.337 Kgs. 2 Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
