The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) opposed granting bail on the ground that one of the accused persons is the father of this petitioner and the confession statement of the accused implicates this petitioner as the person, who used to procure ganja from Andhra Pradesh and sell it to the public through the arrested accused, from whom 570 grams of ganja in seven packets kept for retail selling recovered. Further the learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) also states that this petitioner is having 11 previous cases and two cases pertaining to the narcotic drugs and the confession statement of the 1st accused indicates that he is the person, who procures ganja in bulk and distribute to others for retail selling. Since the source of ganja and the modus operandi in distribution and selling has to be probed, custodial interrogation of this petitioner is required.
