The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with other accused was found to be in illegal possession of 102 kgs of banned tobacco products. Hence, this case. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that though the total quantity of banned tobacco products seized was 102 kgs, only 40 kgs were allegedly recovered from the possession of the petitioner. He further submitted that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the Petitioner. 4. Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the Respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and opposed the grant of bail on the ground that the petitioner has no previous cases pending against him. 5. I have given my anxious consideration to either side submissions and perused the materials available on record. 6. From the submissions made by the Government Advocate (Crl.Side) it https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis CRL OP No. 18086 of 2026 __________ Page3 of 5 is seen that the petitioner has no previous cases, considering the period of incarceration since 29.06.2026, this Court is of the firm view that the petitioner’s further custodial interrogation is not required for the purpose of investigation.
