Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that recovered contraband is below commercial quantity; no other case is registered against the petitioner and co-accused Shyam Singh has already been granted bail by co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 23.06.2023.

Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application.
I have considered the arguments advanced before me and gone through the material available on record.
Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, without commenting on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to release the petitioner on bail.
