The alleged offence is under Section 20(b) (ii)(B) of NDPS Act. According to prosecution, Excise Officials got information that ganja was concealed in the house of petitioner and accordingly, a search was conducted in his house. Petitioner who was present in the house ran away and he could not be arrested from the spot. 1530 gms. of ganja was seized from the house and a crime was registered against petitioner on 20.7.2008. 3. Learned public prosecutor submitted that petitioner was arrested on 7.11.2008 when he was found in possession of 900 gms. of ganja and petitioner's arrest was formally recorded in this case on 28.11.2008. This petition is opposed. It is submitted that petitioner is involved in two other cases under the NDPS Act and he is likely to repeat the offence and abscond. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied of the submissions made and I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The petition is dismissed. K.HEMA, JUDGE csl
