In reference to this, he submits that the search and seizure is completely doubtful since at the time of seizure though the inventory was prepared but is not certified by the Magistrate in the manner as provided under 2022 Rules, which itself reveals that there is no substantial compliance of Section 52-A of the NDPS Act, and, therefore, there are reasonable ground that the applicant is not guilty of the
offences, as alleged. He further submits that applicant has no previous criminal history and if he is enlarged on bail there is no possibility that he will be indulged in any such activity in future. In addition to this, he submits that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 25.04.2025 and the charge sheet has already been filed and taking into

6. After hearing the submission of learned counsel for the parties and taking into
consideration that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 25.04.2025 and has no criminal antecedent and in view of the
discussion as above, the twin condition as stipulated under Section 37 of the NDPS Act are fulfilled, therefore, this Court is of the view that applicant deserves for bail.
