2 So far as the godown which has been claimed by the petitioner the same has not been denied by the State but additionally the place of seizure has been substantiated by way of statement of the landlady along with two local witnesses. Seizure list also reflects regarding the place of seizure, there is video recording of the said seizure, prima facie, I am of the view that there is evidence to substantiate (subject to cross-examination by the petitioner) to establish a case. Having regard to the same, at this stage, without the cross- examination of the relevant witnesses, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, CRM (NDPS) 1365 of 2026 is rejected at this stage. Memo of evidence submitted by the State be kept with the record.
