From perusal of the first information report, seizure list as well as impugned order dated 20.12.2023, it appears that 5 kg. ganja was recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner and it is more than small quantity and less than commercial quantity, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

8. However, trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and if the trial is not concluded within the stipulated period, then the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the trial Court.
