HC upheld bail for a 20-year-old truck cleaner involved in smuggling prohibited goods. The court considered the respondent's young age, limited role in the offense, and potential psychological harm from judicial custody. Despite the serious nature of offenses under Sections 132 and 135, the court found no compelling reasons to recall the bail. Statutory bail was already granted to co-accused due to delayed complaint filing. The petitioner failed to demonstrate any procedural irregularities in the original bail order. Consequently, the HC dismissed the petition to cancel bail, maintaining the original bail grant for the young offender.
