The petitioner apprehend his arrest in connection with Barachatti P.S. Case No.206 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 8(b), 18, 29 of N.D.P.S. Act. The allegation against the petitioner is that he is involved in cultivation of opium plants on large scale. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and have committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case on the basis of suspicion. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. Petitioner is not apprehended on the spot nor anything has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. He further submits that some of

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as considering the nature of allegation against the petitioner and his criminal antecedent, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today and seek for regular bail, the learned Court shall pass the order on the same day in accordance with law.
