Reason:                  SLP(Crl.) No.4217/2025
       UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the
                      following
                      O R D E R

1. Heard learned counsel for the parties and

perused the pleadings exchanged by the parties.

2. The petitioner is involved in a case under

the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act

and it is alleged that he was illegally

transporting 79kg of Ganja.

3. All the three prime witnesses, PW-1, PW-2 and

PW-3 have turned hostile. The petitioner has

already suffered incarceration for a period of two

and half years. The trial is likely to take some

more time.

4. In the facts and circumstances of the case,

we are of the opinion that the petitioner deserves

to be enlarged on bail. Accordingly, we direct

that the petitioner be enlarged on bail subject to

the terms and conditions as may be imposed by the

Trial Court commensurating with the charges framed

against him. However, the petitioner shall

SLP(Crl.) No.4217/2025 2
cooperate and participate with the Trial.

5. The special leave petition stands disposed of

in the above terms.

6. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand

disposed of.
