-----------
4 2.7.2008 Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned
counsel for the Union of India in all the three appeals.
On going through the materials on record it is found that
according to prosecution case 511 kg of contraband Ganja was found
loaded on a truck on which all the three appellants were found present
in the capacity of driver, cleaner and alleged owner of the scrapped
goods in which the contraband Ganja was concealed. The quantity
recovered is much more than the commercial quantity and the trial
court has found the appellants guilty of offence under the NDPS Act
and awarded 15 years rigorous imprisonment and also fine.
In the facts of the case, the prayer of the appellants for bail
is rejected at this stage. Let hearing of the appeals be expedited.
