CRL OP(MD). No.1136 of 2020 5.The prosecution states that the petitioner has not given any useful clue to identify the person who escaped from the car. 6.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) would state that the petitioner has not extended his co-operation for the investigation. Since the petitioner has not properly co-operated with the investigation and since huge commercial quantity of ganja was recovered only from the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant relief. The petitioner is at liberty to renew the bail petition after filing of the final report. Hence, this criminal original petition stands dismissed.
