Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that the alleged recovery of Ganja is less than commercial quantity. It has been submitted that petitioner is a staff working in the hotel of the co-accused, which is accessible to general public, as such, it cannot be said that recovery has been made from the conscious physical possession of the petitioner.
