The Principal Sessions Judge of Vellore dismissed the bail petition of Vethanayagam @ Karthick, accused of transporting prohibited tobacco products under the Cigarette and other Tobacco Products Act 2003. The court rejected bail citing the large quantity of banned tobacco products seized (55.354 KGs), the petitioner's three pending cases, co-accused's confession implicating the petitioner as the intended recipient, prior dismissal of anticipatory bail by the High Court, and the offense's public welfare implications.
