Heard Mr. Deepak Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Spl. P.P. for the State.
The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier twice rejected in B.A. No. 7000 of 2024 and B.A. No. 3347 of 2025.
It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is an old lady and she is in custody since 09.06.2024.
Learned Spl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.
It appears that 96.92 kg. of ganja was recovered from the vehicle in which the petitioner was also present. It further appears that out of 11 chargesheeted witnesses 3 witnesses have been examined so far.
In view of the recovery of the commercial quantity of ganja as noted above, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. The same is hereby rejected once again.
