In this case, the petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Hulasganj P.S. Case No. 108 of 2017 registered for the offences under Sections 8 and 20 (A) (1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. Allegation has been made that the petitioner is the owner of a Kirana shop and when the police party, raided the said shop of the petitioner, he fled away. On search, one kilogram of Ganja was recovered from the said shop. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that all action has been taken at the instance of one Deepak Kumar against whom the petitioner has enmity since before and it is
Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.6116 of 2018 (2) dt.06-02-2018 2/2 Deepak Kumar, who has kept the Ganja in the shop of the petitioner and became a seizure witness.
Looking to the entire facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner, above named, on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected.
However, if the petitioner surrender before the learned court below, within a reasonable period, and seek regular bail, his application for regular bail shall be considered by the learned court below on its own merit without being prejudiced by rejection of present application for grant of anticipatory bail.
