Nepali Ganja was recovered from a plastic bag which was thrown by them.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.78789 of 2018(3) dt.08-02-2019 2/2 It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. Nothing was recovered from their possession. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent and are in custody since 22.07.2018.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

However, after completing one year of the custody, the petitioners would be at liberty to renew their prayer for grant of bail.
