ORDER:
1.
Heard
Mr. Ghanekar, learned counsel
appearing for the applicant and Mr. Borulkar,
learned A.P.P. appearing for the respondent-State.
2.
Informant Mr. Waghmare, Police Inspector of
Jamkhed police station lodged first information
report alleging that, on 08.12.2016 in the night he
received secret information about the transportation
2 CrApln 2560 17regr.odt
of Ganja from a vehicle i.e. tempo bearing
registration No. AP 05/TB-3098 on Tuljapur-
Ahmednagar road. He intimated the said information
to his superior officer, who has instructed to
arrange a trap. Accordingly on 09.12.2016 in the
mid night at about 00.45 hours on Tuljapur-
Ahmednagar road in the vicinity of Jamkhed near
Nageshwar Temple he noticed the aforesaid vehicle.
He caught hold accused Fayyaj Pathan and the present
applicant. They were found to be transporting 130
bags of Ganja total 260 k.g. worth Rs. 26 Lakhs.
Ganja was concealed in the body of the tempo. The
present applicant and another accused were caught
hold and after registration of crime No. II-99/2016
with police station Jamkhed, they were arrested.
Now they are in M.C.R.
3.
The present applicant is stated to be a
cleaner of the vehicle and large quantity of Ganja
was found in the possession of the applicant and
another accused. From the contents of the seizure
panchnama it appears that the Ganja was hide in such
a manner that ordinarily it could be noticed to
3 CrApln 2560 17regr.odt
anybody. This goes to show that the present
applicant as well as another accused i.e. driver
were having conscious possession of Ganja.
4.
Looking to the quantity of Ganja, I am of the
opinion that, the applicant is not entitled for
bail. Hence, application is rejected.
