From perusal of the records, it appears that the petitioner and Kundan Kumar, the driver of the vehicle were apprehended and they disclosed that their accomplice Govinda Kumar managed to flee away. They further disclosed that they sold the Ganja to Krishna Gupta @ Kishun and Chandan Singh and the petitioner also disclosed the name of the owner of the vehicle as Amit Kumar Singh.

Considering the facts that the petitioner was traveling in the vehicle along with driver to deliver consignment, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner above named on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.
