[2026:RJ-JP:22763] (2 of 2) [CRLMB-6414/2026] submitted that the police has stated that it recovered the alleged contraband substance quantified as 11.50 gm (smack) and 48 injections of Avil from his possession, however he has strongly disputed the said recovery. Learned counsel further submitted that the police has illegally planted the substance and has booked him in the case. He also submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent of NDPS Act. In view thereof, he prayed that the petitioner deserves to be enlarged on bail.
3. Learned Public Prosecutor along with the Investigation Officer as present strongly opposed the bail application.
4. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
5. This Court, considering the rigor of Section 37 of the NDPS Act and while perusing the contents of the FIR and the conclusion as recorded in the charge-sheet, noted that the recovery of 11.50 mg smack and 48 Avil injections has been made from the possession of the present petitioner. As informed to this Court by the learned Public Prosecutor, these injections are used for injecting narcotic substance in the body. Therefore, considering the serious recovery as made, this Court is not inclined to entertain the present bail application.
6. Consequently, the instant bail application preferred on behalf of the petitioner is dismissed, however the petitioner is granted liberty to file a fresh bail application after recording of the statements of Investigating Officer and Seizing Officer.
