As per the prosecution’s case, based on secret information received by Police Station Khursipar, District Durg, it was learned that one Pintu Kumar Sahani (co-accused) had purchased contraband ganja and had kept it at the house of the present applicant. Acting on this information, the police conducted a search and seized 32.142 kg of contraband ganja from the possession of the present applicant. The police arrested the applicant and, after due investigation, filed the charge sheet. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the first bail application of the applicant was rejected by this Court on merits. He submits that the second bail application of the present applicant is being preferred on medical grounds. He submits that the applicant is an elderly lady suffering from various ailments, suffering from various ailments like kidney, heart, urine infection including consistently high blood sugar levels exceeding 400, which has resulted in painful wounds. He submits that the applicant has been in jail since 05.09.2024 and requires immediate medical attention due to her critical condition.

Further, she was also shifted to DKS Super-specialty Hospital, Raipur, and is being given proper treatment.

I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. From perusal of the pleadings, it appears that the applicant's earlier bail application was rejected on merits, the second bail application of the applicant is being preferred on medical grounds, citing that she is suffering from various diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, urinary tract infection, and kidney issues, however, there appears to be no documentary evidence available in support of this contention, furthermore, 32.142 kgs of Ganja was recovered from the possession of the present applicant, and the applicant has failed to provide any explanation regarding the said contraband article. Therefore, considering the quantity of the contraband article, I do not find any good ground for grant of bail, therefore, this second bail application of the present applicant is rejected. 8. Accordingly, the second bail application of the applicant – G. Sarojini, filed under Section 483 of the BNSS involved in Crime No. 171/2024 registered at Police Station Khursipar, District - Durg (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 20(b) and 20(C), 29 of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, is rejected. 9.
