As per the allegation in the FIR, the police got information about the selling of the 'Ganja' from the house of Ram Prasad Ram.

The other person was Ram Prasad Ram. Subsequently, the house was searched and it is alleged that 72
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27380 of 2022(2) dt.23-08-2022 2/3 Kg. of 'Ganja' was recovered/seized.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that only because he is son of accused Ram Prasad Ram, he has been implicated in the case and the alleged recovery of 72 Kg. of 'Ganja' from the house of his father, Ram Prasad Ram cannot be attributed to him. He further submits that nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession and only on the basis of confessional statement of accused/father before the police, his name has come up. He further submits that he has clean antecedent and is in custody since 17.03.2022. He reiterates that the house belongs to the petitioner's father who is already in custody.
Considering the fact that the recovery/seizure has been made from the house of Ram Prasad Ram, the petitioner is the son of the accused Ram Prasad Ram and nothing has been recovered from his conscious possession, he do not have criminal antecedent, charge-sheet stands submitted and is in custody since 17.03.2022, this Court is inclined to grant him privilege of bail. However, if it is found that he do have criminal antecedent, this bail order shall become infructuous. Let the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.27380 of 2022(2) dt.23-08-2022 3/3 sureties of the like amount each in connection with Ramgarh P.S. Case No.90 of 2022 to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Kaimur, at Bhabua, subject to following conditions:
