Act pending in the court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge IV, Sasaram. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the allegation, as per the first information report, is that the police got a confidential information that the petitioner is engaged in the trade of Ganja and on that information the police raided the house of the petitioner but nothing was recovered from the possession or house of the petitioner. However, it is alleged that in search of a house situated in south in two plastic packets 3 1⁄2 Kg. of Ganja

Heard learned A.P.P. also who has opposed the prayer for bail and has stated that three and a half Kg. of Ganja was recovered from the house of the petitioner and apart from that 23 sachets of one gram ganja each was also recovered from the house of the petitioner.

Having heard both sides and in view of the fact that large quantity of Ganja has been recovered from the house of the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. This application for bail is, accordingly, dismissed. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial who shall try to dispose of the case as soon as possible .
