Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

2.

This application, for grant of anticipatory bail, arises out of Kanti PS case no. 989 of 2023, disclosing offences punishable under Sections 8, 20(B)IIB of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

3.

The prosecution story, as per the First Information Report, is that the informant received secret information that the petitioner has been selling Ganja from his house at Chainpur. When he along with police party reached at the spot, one person started fleeing away from the house and managed to escape but on search of the house, they recovered ganja like substance weighing 1060 grams. The recovered ganja was seized and seizure list prepared.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.49367 of 2024(2) dt.21-08-2024 2/2 4.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and nothing was recovered from his conscious possession. Learned counsel further submits that the house, from where ganja was recovered, is in joint possession of his father and uncle. The petitioner is stated to be having a clean antecedent.

5.

Regard being had to the submissions made on behalf of the parties and taking into consideration the fact that contraband ganja having 1060 grams has been recovered from the room of the petitioner, which is more than small quantity i.e. 1000 grams, as prescribed in N.D.P.S. Act, 1985, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7.

Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.
