Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was not caught on the spot. He has been falsely implicated in the case. Thus, he deserves the concession of anticipatory bail.

Plea has been vehemently opposed by learned State counsel. According to him, in the instant case huge recovery of 171⁄2 Qtls. of poppy husk was effected.

Under the circumstances, I do not find any merit in the plea that petitioner has been falsely implicated. Investigation has to be taken to its logical end. There is, thus, no merit in the petition. Dismissed.
