5.

Prosecution story in brief is that on 3-10-2018 at about 11.50 hr. at village Likhma, Inspector N.L. Mandavi seized 18 kg cannabis from possession of the applicant.

6.

Counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is innocent and falsely implicated. He further argued that he is in custody since 3-10-2018. Hence he may be released on bail.

7.

On the other hand, the State Counsel opposed the bail application. He further submits that one more case under IPC has been registered against the applicant. 8.

Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, looking to the huge quantity of the cannabis seized and also the impact of granting bail on the society, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 9.

Consequently, the MCRC is dismissed.
