Though the contraband involved in this case is an intermediate quantity, the submission of the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) that the petitioner has six previous cases out of which five are similar in nature, clearly demonstrates that if bail is granted, there is a likelihood of the petitioner misusing the liberty and thereby subverting the course of justice.
