Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. The very fact that the police team had allegedly received secret information about petitioner keeping in his illegal
possession contraband/prohibited drugs, but no efforts were made by the team to involve any independent witness as a 'witness' to the case proceedings raises serious doubt on the genuineness of the story put-forth by them. It is further the submission of learned counsel that even the statutory formalities were not complied with at the site.

Per contra, learned State counsel while referring to the status report dated 19.07.2025 filed by way of affidavit of Mr. Ramesh Kumar, HPS, #! 8 has opposed the request for grant of bail on the ground that based on secret information, the police team caught the petitioner red handed while keeping in his conscious possession 1008 capsules of $ 2 : 2 (
3
* (prohibited drug), weighing >>> ! 6 ! . Learned State counsel further contends that contraband recovered in the present case falls within the 'Commercial Quantity'. In view thereof, rigors of Section 37 of NDPS Act are attracted which bar the grant of bail, unless the twin conditions prescribed in the provision are satisfied. Further according to him, if lenient view is taken in favour of the petitioner, the
- likelihood of him indulging in similar offence and fleeing from process of justice cannot be ruled out. Dismissal of the petition has been prayed for. 5.
I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the documents on record.
