3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution they have been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 4.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent submitted that the petitioners were found in possession of 1.200 Kgs of Ganja.
