Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the fact that the quantity of ganja recovered comes under intermediary quantity and the petitioner is having no criminal antecedents and also that the petitioner is in custody since 09.11.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail.
