4.
From perusal of the first information report, it transpires that the petitioner along with co-accused person was carrying 08 gram of Smack, hence, allegations made in the first information report are very serious and discloses commission of offence. Since, prima-facie, the offence is made out against the petitioner, no interference is warranted by this Court. Accordingly, the present criminal writ petition is dismissed in-limine.
6.
Pending application, if any, stands
disposed of accordingly.
