2. The prosecution story in brief, is that the Police of Police Station – Pendra, District – Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi (C.G.) has received a secret information through the informant and on the basis of the said information, the Police authority has seized a total of 34.300 Kgs of Ganja from the trunk of the car bearing registration No. MH-02-EH-1015 which was being piloted by the co-accused, and the applicant was following the said vehicle. Thereafter, the applicant was arrested and the case was registered by the Police. 3. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. The applicant is in jail since 20.10.2024. The conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, therefore, he prays for grant of bail. 4. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that a total of 34.300 Kgs of Ganja has been seized from the trunk of the car bearing registration No. MH-02-EH-1015 which was being piloted by the co-accused which is much above the commercial quantity, and the applicant was following the said vehicle. It is further submitted that the charge-sheet has been filed in this case. Hence, this bail application is liable to be rejected. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 3
6.
Taking into consideration the fact that a total of 34.300 Kgs of Ganja has been seized from the trunk of the car bearing registration No. MH-02-EH-1015 which was being piloted by the co-accused which is much above the commercial quantity, and the applicant was following the said vehicle and he is failed to give any explanation for the same and it could not be a case of false implication as it appears to be an organized crime, the charge- sheet has been filed in this case, hence, the bail application of applicant – Rameshwar Ahiwar @ Munna involved in Crime No.310/2024, registered at Police Station – Pendra, District – Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi (C.G.) for the offences punishable under Section 20(B)(ii)(c) of the NDPS Act, is rejected at this stage. 7. Needless to say that the learned trial Court concerned is at liberty to proceed with the trial and conclude the same, expeditiously. 8. The Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/-
