It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the case against the petitioner is totally concocted. The police have fabricated the alleged recovery from the petitioner. There is no other case against the petitioner. The investigation of the case is already complete. The petitioner is in custody since 31.07.2021. Hence, the petitioner deserves to be released on bail pending trial.
