4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. Charge-sheet has been submitted in this case. Petitioner is in custody since 27.05.2025. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned counsel further submitted that the name of the petitioner is being dragged in this case merely because she happens to be the wife of the co-accused Sagar Kumar. There is no allegation of tampering of witnesses alleged against the petitioner. No incriminating material has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner except two mobile phones. The recovery of narcotic substance has been made from the almira of co-accused Sagar Kumar (husband of the petitioner) and the same is below the small quantity, and hence, Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act is not applicable in the present case. There is no compliance of Sections 42 and 50 of the N.D.P.S. Act as also of Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as also the period of custody undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
