JUDGMENT Ajay Tewari, J. (Oral) - The petitioner seeks grant of regular bail in Complaint No.NDPS/142/2018, registered on 14.8.2018 under Sections 8, 21, 23, 29, 60, 61 of the NDPS Act. 2. As per the prosecution case, about 2 kgs of heroin was recovered from the fields of the co-accused and on being arrested, he named the petitioner as one of the members of the gang. 3. Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody since 22.6.2018 and apart from that disclosure statement, there is no other evidence against him and his antecedents are otherwise clean. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to deny that the only evidence against the petitioner is the disclosure statement of the co-accused. She has also accepted the other factual assertions. 5. In these circumstances, without commenting upon the merits of the case, and keeping in view the period of custody already suffered by the petitioner, I do not deem it appropriate to deny the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. 6. Bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. 7. Petition stands disposed of. 8. Since the main case has been decided, the pending C.Ms, if any, also stand disposed of.
