    The Jharkhand High Court rejected Arjun Kumar's bail petition in an NDPS case involving allegations of transporting 250 kg of ganja (cannabis) in commercial quantity. Justice Anil Kumar Choudhary held that the serious nature of the charges, prosecution evidence from four witnesses identifying the petitioner as the truck driver, and risk of absconding made this an unfit case for bail at that stage, despite the petitioner's claim that the co-accused truck owner was granted bail without being named in witness depositions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
