2. Heard Mr.Nouman, learned counsel representing
M/s.M.A.Mujeeb, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.
Vivekananda Reddy, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor
appearing for the respondent-State.
3. The allegation against the petitioner/accused No.1 is
that he along with other accused was found in possession of
contraband i.e., 908 kgs of Ganja.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the
petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the
case. The petitioner is judicial custody since 16.12.2025. He
further submitted that entire investigation is completed
except filing of charge sheet. Hence, learned counsel prayed
this Court to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
5. On the other hand, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor
opposed for grant of bail stating that the quantity involved is
a huge commercial quantity of 908 kgs of Ganja and two more
crimes are registered against the petitioner. As such, in view
of rigor of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, the petitioner is not
entitled for bail. Hence, he prayed the Court to dismiss the
criminal petition.
3
6. Having regard to the rival submissions made and
perusal of the material on record, it is found that this is the
fourth bail application and the earlier bail applications were
dismissed on merits. In the present application, there are no
changed circumstances since dismissal of earlier bail
applications. The allegations against the petitioner relate to
possession of commercial quantity of contraband, attracting
the rigor of Section 37 of the NDPS Act. Hence, this court is
not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner and the
same is liable to be dismissed. As such, this Court is not
inclined to grant the relief as sought for, by the petitioner.
There are no merits in this Criminal Petition, and the same is
liable to be dismissed.
7. Accordingly, this Criminal Petition is dismissed.
Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand
closed.
