Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. Perused the record. 3. The allegation against the petitioners/accused Nos. 2 and 4 is that they were involved in dealing with 22 kilograms of ganja, which constitutes a commercial quantity. Accused No. 2 was arrested on 29.08.2025. He has been in judicial custody for the past 60 days. Accused No. 4 was arrested on 23.08.2025. He has been in judicial custody for the past 66 days. The petitioners/accused Nos. 2 and 4 are alleged to be the suppliers of the contraband. The roles of the petitioners came to light based on the confession statement of accused No. 1. There are four adverse criminal antecedents reported against accused No.2. Of course there are no adverse criminal antecedents reported against the accused No.4. According to the prosecution, accused No. 1 was driving the car in which 22 kilograms of ganja were being transported. The inventory process is yet to be completed. There are three injured in this case. One suffered grievous injuries and two suffered simple injuries. It is alleged that accused No.1 drove the car with an intention to kill the police officials who attempted to intercept the vehicle carrying the commercial quantity of contraband. So far, only five witnesses have been examined, and the investigation is still at a nascent stage. The request to 3 enlarge the petitioners on bail is not found convincing and reasonable at this juncture. Hence, the Criminal Petition is liable to be dismissed. 4. In the result, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. _________________________ DR. Y. LAKSHMANA RAO, J Date: 29.10.2025 S D P 4 THE HONOURABLE DR JUSTICE Y.
