                   has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no

                   offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. He also

                   submits that the room from where recovery has been made does

                   not belong to the petitioner. Nothing has been recovered from the

                     considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is
