It also appears that nothing was recovered from the body search of the petitioner No.1 and the recovery was made from the house of the petitioner No. 2. It also appears from the record that the petitioner No. 1 lived separately from the petitioner No. 2 and therefore, prima facie it appears that the recovery was not made from the possession of the petitioner No. 1 but that of the petitioner No. 2. 5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has objected to the prayer for bail as the charge sheet has already been submitted. 6. Having regard to the above, the prayer for bail in respect of the petitioner No. 1 is allowed. However, the prayer for bail in respect of the petitioner No. 2 is rejected at this stage. 7.
