2. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State has brought to our notice that the petitioner has never been involved previously in any other offence of similar nature. The trial of the accused is unnecessarily put to delay. Keeping in view the small quantity of narcotic substances we feel inclined to allow this petition. Consequently, this petition is accepted and petitioner is released on bail provided he furnishes bail bond in the sum of Rs.50,000 with one surety in like amount to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
