T.V.THAMILSELVI, J.

The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent

Police for the offences punishable under Sections 24(1) of COTP Act r/w

328 of IPC, in Crime No.636 of 2022, on the file of the respondent police,

seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that when the respondent Police and

his team were on their regular patrol duty, they found that the accused were

illegally transporting 135 kilograms of Guktha, in their cars. Hence the case.

3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that this is

the third bail application of this petitioner before this Court and this Court

had earlier dismissed the bail applications filed by the petitioner in

Crl.O.P.Nos.24671 & 26355 of 2022. He further submitted that the similarly

placed co-accused were released on bail by this Court. He also stated that

the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be

imposed by this Court. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the

petitioner.
