IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR MISC CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2572/2007 [Koranprolu Vyankat Shrinivas vs. State of Mah.] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. CORAM : S.R.DONGAONKAR, J DATED : 9 th JANUARY, 2008. Heard Shri R.M.Daga, Advocate, for the applicant and Shri D.B.Yengal, A.P.P. for respondent State. The applicant has been arrested for the offence punishable under Sections 20(B) and 8(c) of the N.D.P.S. Act, in Crime No. 3004/07. The allegations against the applicant are that he is the owner of the Truck bearing No. AP-01 X-6606 in which Ganja weighing about 3292 Kg. was being carried. The State was specifically directed to inform the court whether they are making the alleged owners of Ganja as an accused. The investigation officer was present in the Court on 13.12.2007. The learned A.P.P. on his instructions informed the Court that the alleged owners of the said Ganja would be made accused i.e. Chittibabu Subareddy and Durgaprasad Apparao, however, no further details have been supplied by the respondent State. It is quite surprising that the applicant who is the owner of the truck has been arrested, whereas the alleged owners of the said Ganja have not yet been arrested. The merits of filing of the charge sheet would no doubt depend on the consideration by respondent, but in these circumstances, applicant cannot be denied bail. Hence, applicant be released on bail on furnishing surety and P.R.Bond of Rs. 25,000/- subject to condition that he shall not directly or indirectly tamper with the prosecution evidence. Bail in lower Court. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Rvjalit
