4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that there are totally 4 accused in which the petitioner is arrayed as A4. The petitioner and other accused were found in possession of 88 pockets of explosive materials viz., Special Ordinary Detonators 9300 grams illegally in car.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 12.08.2022 mn Crl.O.P.No.19041 of 2022 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
