He submits that the petitioner along with other were apprehended on the spot and 3.08 grams of narcotic substance seized from the pocket of the petitioner and as per the FSL report, the said material is Heroin.

6. Accordingly, this bail application is dismissed.
7. It is expected that the FSL report will also be placed before the trial court and the Trial Court should take steps to conclude the trial at the earliest and the prosecution will produce the witnesses at regular interval.
