They are heard. Perused the case diary /challan papers. 3. These are first applications under Section 439 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973.

No.30722/2022 (Jaivardhan S/o Sudarshan v. The State of Madhya Pradesh), this Court has allowed the third bail application of the co-accused on 02.08.2022 on the ground that the sample obtained from the contraband seized was not in accordance with law, as the entire batch of contraband was mixed and thereafter the samples were taken from it. It is submitted that in the present case also, the alleged 14 bags were found to be having 246 kg. 400 gm. of poppy straw, whereas, 1 bag had 23 kg of the said contraband and admittedly these bags were mixed together and two samples were taken from it and none of them had commercial quantity of contraband.
