altogether five cases about which reference has been given in para-3 of the bail petition but, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that because of his accusation in such cases, he has been arrested in this case only on suspicion. The petitioner denies of there being any recovery from his possession and submits that the seizure list has been prepared maliciously.
