1. The instant bail application has been filed under Section 483 BNSS on behalf of accused-petitioner. The accused-petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No. 283/2025 registered at Police Station Raisingh Nagar, District Sri Ganganagar for the offences under Section 8/21 of NDPS Act.

2. Learned counsel for the accused-petitioner submits that the accused-petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the contraband weighing 6.67 Gms. of Smack was recovered from the conscious possession of the other co-accused Neeraj and he has revealed the name of the present petitioner, however, there is no substantive evidence available on record indicating that petitioner has supplied the aforesaid Smack to the other co-accused. The accused-petitioner is in custody since 16.11.2025 and the trial/investigation of the case may take considerable time, therefore, the bail application of the accused-

petitioner may be allowed.

3. Learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application and contended that the petitioner is a habitual offender and against him 17 cases pertaining to various offences including 6 cases of NDPS Act were registered, therefore, considering the aforesaid fact, the bail application of the petitioner deserves dismissal.

4. Heard and perused the material available on record.
