Learned A.S.G. opposes for prayer for bail and submits that the allegation levelled as the petitioner is serious in nature. Hence, he does not deserve anticipatory bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that there is ample material against the petitioner on record, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with N.D.P.S. Case No. 04 of 2022, arising out of N.C.B. Case No.02 of 2022. Accordingly, his prayer for anticipatory bail is hereby rejected.
