After completion of investigation, offence has been registered against the applicant and she was arrested on 22.03.2019. • Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the case. He further submits that all the seizure witnesses have not supported the prosecution case and turned hostile. He next submits that the applicant is ready to furnish adequate security & shall abide by all the directions & conditions which

may be imposed by this Court while granting bail. Applicant is in jail since 22.03.2019, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail.

• On the other hand, counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

• I have heard learned counsel for the parties. • Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence, facts and circumstances of the case, detention period of applicant and further considering the fact that all the seizure witnesses have turned hostile and the trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, this Court is of the view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed.
