It is alleged that 299 bags of wheat were
found loaded on the truck and 21 bags of wheat and 38
bags of rice were found loaded on another truck.
It is submitted that the F.I.R reflects that only
marginal discrepancy in the stock was found during
verification. Though, the display board reflected the
stock to be nil. It is further submitted that the alleged
grains were claimed by the brother of the petitioner,
who is a grain dealer, who has already been granted
anticipatory bail by this Court. It is further submitted

being sold in the black market and casual accusation of
selling of the grains in the black market is only
speculative accusation.
