4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner along with other accused was found in possession of 1.500 Kgs of Ganja, without any valid license or permit. He would further submit that one similar previous case is pending against the petitioner and hence he vehemently opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
