1.

Petitioner submits she is the wife of the principal accused. She was not aware of the narcotics kept at the residence.

2.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. He submits bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merits.

3.

We have considered the materials on record. It appears petitioner assisted her husband in storing narcotics above commercial quantity. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected on merits in April, 2023. There is no change in circumstance since then.

4. Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

5.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
