1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.599 of 2021, registered at Police Station - Kotwali, District - Surguja, Chhattisgarh for the offence punishable under Section 21(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

2.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in jail since 13.3.2021 and has been falsely implicated in this case. The chargesheet has been filed and the trial of the case is likely to take sometime for its final disposal. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant be enlarged on bail.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and the submissions made in this respect. 4.

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

On the date of incident, 24.40 gm of brown sugar has been recovered and seized from the possession of this applicant by the police. Hence, this case.

6.

Considered on the submissions. The applicant does not have any criminal antecedents and the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, therefore, I feel inclined to grant regular bail to the applicant.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.
