Crl.M.No.19659 of 2022 in/and #2# CRM-M-14161 of 2022 the contraband from the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner has been implicated only on the basis of disclosure statement of co-accused. Recovery has already been effected. The petitioner has no criminal past. The investigation in the case is already complete and the challan has been filed.

Without commenting anything on the merits of the case and also bearing in mind the fact that the trial is not likely to be concluded in near future, in my opinion, no useful purpose will be served by detaining the petitioner behind bars any further. The petition, as such, is allowed. The petitioner Jagdish is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate concerned.

This present petition stands accepted accordingly. May 31, 2022 (Harinder Singh Sidhu) manoj Judge Whether speaking/reasoned: Yes/No Whether Reportable: Yes/No MANOJ KUMAR 2022.06.01 09:36 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
