CRL OP(MD). No.7247 of 2023

4. It is seen that the petitioner was already granted anticipatory bail by this Court in Crl.O.P(MD).No.3474 of 2020 on 26.02.2020. However, the petitioner failed to surrender before the concerned Magistrate Court and also failed to execute any sureties. Though the respondent completed the investigation and filed a final report, the petitioner again involved similar type of eight cases. That apart, the petitioner was found in possession of 1.300kgs of Ganja and it is the case of NDPS. Hence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed.
