Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application and submits that it is a case of recovery of the contraband which is more than small quantity. Therefore, the application may be rejected. 4.

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

Considered on the submissions. As it appears that there is no criminal antecedent of this applicant, he is local resident of this State and the trial against him is likely to take some time, therefore, I feel inclined to allow this application.

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, for his appearance as and when directed. 8.
