CRM-M-2314-2022(O&M) this is not a fit case for grant of interim bail inasmuch as the recovery in the present case is over two lacs tablets of Tramadol from various persons involved in the said case.

Keeping in view the totality of the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the present petition with a direction that the petitioner be taken, in custody, to his Village Jhameri, District Ludhiana enabling him to attend the marriage of his brother there on 25.01.2022 from 08.00 A.M to 04.00 P.M.

Disposed off accordingly.
