Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the subject matter of the case relates to alleged recovery of 23.47 kgs. of ganja and charge-sheet has already been submitted before the jurisdictional court. Petitioner is in custody for about 200 days. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.
