Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.25576 of 2025(2) dt.07-05-2025 2/2 of ganja.

4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence in the manner alleged and he has falsely been implicated in the present case due to ill motive of the police personnel. No incriminating contraband has been recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. Petitioner was not apprehended from the spot. Petitioner has been made accused merely on the basis of disclosure of his name by the arrested co-accused who is having inimical terms with the petitioner. Petitioner has no concern with the alleged vehicle and the seized articles.

5. Having regard to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the nature of allegation, recovery of contraband/ganja and the petitioner is having criminal antecedents, I am not inclined to grant the petitioner privilege of anticipatory bail.

6. This application is, accordingly, rejected. (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) HarshPandey/- U T
