1. The applicant has preferred this bail application under Section 439 of the CrPC, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No.815/2020, registered at Police Station Manikpur, P.S. Kotwali, District Korba (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 20b of the NDPS Act.

2. Applicant was found in illicit possession of 1kg 562 Grams of contraband when he was intercepted near Budhwari Bazaar, Bypass Road, Korba.

3. Learned State counsel would oppose the prayer for grant of bail. However, he submits that concerned SHO has not

reported any previous antecedent or having committed similar nature of crime.
