Considering the submissions of the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), and the other accused A1 to A3 were already arrested and this is a case involving recovery of 1.300 kgs of ganja and that the petitioner has two previous cases pending against him out of which one is filed under Section 302 of IPC which clearly demonstrates that if bail is granted, there is a likelihood of the petitioner misusing the liberty and thereby subverting the course of justice.
