CORAM:

HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE MUKTA GUPTA

1.

By this petition the petitioner seeks regular bail in Sessions Case No.

156/2019 under Sections 22/23/29 NDPS Act on a complaint filed by the

respondent/ NCB.

2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is a 23

old, Syrian national staying in Delhi as refugee pursuant to the registration

and verification by the UNHCR since 2015 and has been falsely implicated

in case No. VIII/28/DZU/2018 of the respondent. Being a refugee there is no

likelihood that the petitioner can flee this country. The petitioner is in

custody since 27^th September, 2018 and the trial is likely to take a lot of

time. N
