Misc. No. 36063 of 2022 vide order dated 20.09.2022. It is submitted that no Ganja, as alleged, was recovered from the conscious physical possession of this petitioner, who is a man of clean antecedent. While concluding the argument, it is submitted that investigation of this case is complete, for which, charge-sheet has been submitted, as such, there is no chance of tampering with the evidence.
Learned APP, opposes the prayer of bail.
Considering the facts and circumstances as mentioned above, as recovery of pistol and ganja, which is smaller quantity, were made from co-accused, not from this petitioner, who is a man of clean antecedent coupled with the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted, let the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail in connection with Parbatta (Maraiya) P.S.
