lt is alleged in the crime occurrence report that on 23.02.2021 at 7.30 AM., on credible lnformation, while the S.l. of police along with his staff were conducting a route watch at Biryani Bled Restaurant near Boduppal Kaman road, they found the accused in possession of 3.160 kgs of dry ganja and they seized the said ganja under a cover of panchanama and registered the aforesaid case against the petitioner/accused.

He further submits that the petitioner was arrested on 23.02.2021 and that the entire allegations made in the complaint are all false and factious. He further submits that the entire investigation is completed, except filing of the charge sheet.
