The same would be evident from the contents of the order of the learned Court below and also from the contents of the counter affidavit. 45 kgs of ganja which is commercial quantity was recovered from the house of the petitioner. Trial in the case is proceeding.

A report was called from the learned trial Court.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegations of recovery of 45 kgs of ganja together with the trial in the case having proceeded, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail and the application rejected.
