According to prosecution, on 21.11.2019, the petitioner was apprehended with 1.5 kgs of charas without any permit or licence. Learned counsel inter alia contends that petitioner has falsely been implicated in the instant case. He is a business man. Petitioner is in custody since the date of his arrest. Conclusion of trial may take a long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail. Nothing has to be recovered from him. On the other hand, learned State counsel vehemently opposed the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner.
