The High Court of Telangana dismissed a bail petition for accused charged with possession of 847 kg of ganja. The Court held that the quantity constitutes a commercial amount under the NDPS Act, making the offence non-bailable, and refused bail as conditions were not met.
Bail petition dismissed; accused remain in judicial custody.
