Learned advocate for the State, on the other hand, submits that the petitioner is the owner of the land where cultivation of contraband has been going on, he is thickly connected with the offence and is in complete knowhow. Having considered the fact that the petitioner prima facie is involved in such cultivation of contraband, I am of
