Bhumula Appa Rao , Narise Appa Rao v. The State Of A.P

HONOURABLE SRI J USTICE SURESH K UMAR K AIT CRIMINAL PETITION No. 16484 of 2016 ORDER:

Vide present Criminal Petition, the petitioner/Accused No.3 seeks bail in Crime No.94 of 2016 registered on the file of Station House Officer, Police Station, Yeleswaram, East Godavari District for the offences punishable under Section 8(c) read with Section 20(b)(ii)(c) of NDPS Act, 1985.

Heard learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State. Perused the material available on record. Keeping in view the fact that huge quantity of 624 Kgs of ganja was seized from the possession of the petitioner, which comes under the commercial quantity and thereby Section 37 of the NDPS Act comes into play, I am not inclined to grant bail. The Criminal Petition is accordingly dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration if any in the Criminal Petition shall stand closed in consequence. -------------------------------------------- JUSTICE SURESH KUMAR KAIT DATED 9th December, 2016.
