Heard Mr. S. Afridi, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr. P. S.
Lahkar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State respondent.
2. This is an application under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 praying for grant of bail
to the accused/petitioner, who has been arrested in connection with NDPS Case No.
37/2023 arising out of Garchuk P. S. Case No. 357/2022, registered under Sections
20(C)/27(A)/29 of NDPS Act.
3. The scanned copy of the case record has already been received, and I have
perused the same.
4. It is submitted by Mr. Afridi, learned counsel for the petitioner, that the
accused/petitioner is innocent and that nothing was recovered from his conscious
possession, as alleged in the FIR. The petitioner was arrested on 29.11.2022 in
connection with this case and since then, he is behind custody. He further submitted
that, till date, out of 8 listed witnesses, 4 have been examined. He also raised the
ground of parity, stating that three co-accused persons have already been granted bail
in connection with this case. He further submitted that there is no probability of
completion of trial within near future as remaining witnesses are yet to be examined
by the prosecution and hence, considering the period of long incarceration, the
petitioner may be enlarged on bail.
