Vattikuti Nageswara Rao v. The State Of A.P

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7842 OF 2016

ORDER

This petition is filed by the petitioner/A-2 under Sections 437 and 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking to grant bail in Crime No.20 of 2016 of Rangampet Police Station, East Godavari District, registered for the offences punishable under Section 8(c) read with 20B(1) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

Heard and perused the material available on record. Case of the prosecution is that on 26.1.2016, A-1 and the petitioner/A-2 were found transporting 70 kgs. of ganja illegally. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the offences alleged against him and he has been falsely implicated in the present case.

The petitioner along with A-1 is found in possession of 70 kgs. of ganja. Since the ganja found is more than the commercial quantity and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Date:15.6.2016 AMD
