(Oral) The allegations in this regular bail application under section 439 Cr.P.C. are that on 1.9.2014, accused-petitioner Bhajan Singh alias Bittu along with his co-accused were apprehended. On personal search of the petitioner from his possession 200 grams of heroin with Pakistani SIM card were recovered.

The contentions of counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody since 1.9.2014 and that the investigation and trial are not likely to be concluded in near future could not be controverted on behalf of the State together with the fact that the culpability shall be determined at the time of trial, no useful purpose will be served by retaining the petitioner in custody.
