4. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties and perused the

5. As per prosecution case, 3 kg of Ganja was recovered from the possession of this applicant which was kept in a shop. Hence, this bail application.

6. Considered on the submissions. As it appears that the applicant has no criminal antecedent and there is likelihood of delay in conclusion of trial, therefore, I feel inclined to allow this bail application and release the applicant on bail.

7. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. is allowed. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed.
