The application for bail was granted to the applicant, Asif Ali, who was found in possession of 1 Kg of Charas and 5 Kgs of Bhang in a vehicle during a police raid. The court considered the circumstances surrounding the arrest, including the claim that the raiding party were subordinates of the complainant and that no independent witnesses were sought. The decision referenced similar cases where bail was granted under comparable facts. The applicant was ordered to provide a solvent surety of Rs. 1,00,000 and to execute a P.R. Bond for the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial court. |
