Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been arraigned in this case for alleged recovery of 27.08 kgs of ganja.

Petitioner be released on bail after the stage of consideration of charges are over by the learned trial court on such terms and conditions as the learned trial court deems fit and proper for ensuring the appearance of the
