2. It has been asserted that, as per the prosecution, the
police were on patrolling duty on 15.01.2025. They saw the
petitioner carrying a backpack coming from Dadnu. He tried to run
away after seeing the police. The police apprehended him, and the
petitioner identified himself as Raman Kumar (present petitioner), in
the presence of an independent witness. The police checked the
backpack and recovered heroin from it. Police arrested the
petitioner and seized the heroin. The allegations made against the
petitioner are false. The quantity of heroin stated to have been
recovered from the possession of the accused is an intermediate
quantity, and the rigours of Section 37 of the NDPS Act do not apply
to the present case. The petitioner would abide by the terms and
conditions that the Court may impose. Hence, it was prayed that the
present petition be allowed and the petitioner be released on bail.
