CRM-M-21312-2021 (O&M) -2- 


; 
9!# Per contra, while opposing the prayer for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, learned State counsel does not dispute the custody period of the petitioner. He, however, submits that the recovery effected from the petitioner is a commercial quantity. He further submits that post framing of the charge, the prosecution evidence is going on and there are total 14 witnesses.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner has been in custody since 15.11.2019. Recovery has already been effected. There is no other case registered and/or pending against the petitioner. Most of the prosecution witnesses are yet to be examined. In such circumstances, the trial of the case would take a long time to conclude. Therefore, no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars. In view of the above and without commenting anything on the merits of the case, lest it should prejudice the case of both the sides, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate/Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned.
