4. Taking into consideration the quantity found in possession of A2, A3 and A4 had been granted bail but, it is the petitioner, who is said to be the supplier of ganja and in view of that particular fact, even though charge sheet had also been filed, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the criminal original petition is dismissed. 09.10.2023 ata Crl.O.P.No.23119 of 2023 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
