¶16

Taking into account the fact that there is recovery/seizure of 1000 kgs of Ganja and as per documents on record, it seems that on the earlier occasion also one of the trucks of the petitioner was recovered/seized in ‘Vishakhapatnam’ in which also Ganja was being supplied as also considering the kind of allegation that has been levelled in the FIR, this Court is not inclined to grant him the privilege of bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
