I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that 400 gms. of opium was recovered from his possession. It has been contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that charge against the petitioner-accused has been framed under Section 18 of the NDPS Act and that he has been CRM No.M-15150 of 2010 continuing in custody for the last about 6 months and however, no witness has been examined so far. Hence, it is contended that trial is not likely to be concluded in near future. All these facts have not been disputed by learned counsel for the State. It has also been stated that charge against the petitioner-accused has been framed under Section 18 of NDPS Act. Petitioner is not involved in any other case. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Ajay Kumar, is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Fatehabad. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) September 6, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
