---- Respondent For applicant - Shri Suryakant Mishra, Advocate. For Respondent/State - Shri Anant Bajpai, PL. Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 2/11/2016 1.

The applicant has preferred this application for grant of bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No.156/2016 registered in Police Station Ratanpur, District Bilaspur (C.G.) for offence punishable under section 20 (B) of Narcotic Drugs Psychotropic Substances Act. 2.

As per the prosecution case, on 21/06/2016 car bearing No.C.G. 04 CH 1800 was intercepted and from the car 13.800 kg and 10.520 kg of cannabis was recovered and the entire cannabis was more than 24 kg and from the applicant recovery was shown to be of 10.520 kg. 3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that no recovery was made from the applicant, he was only driver of the said vehicle, therefore the applicant may be released on bail.

Learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail 5.

Perused the case diary and the documents. Prima facie it appears that from the possession of the applicant 10.520 kg of cannabis was recovered. Considering the quantity of cannabis so recovered, this
