2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 20 and 22 of the NDPS Act.

3. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner was apprehended in a tempo and from her possession, a bag was recovered and from that bag, altogether 8.25 kg of ganja like intoxicating substance was recovered.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is simply a traveller of that tempo and she has been framed by the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75226 of 2025(2) dt.19-11-2025 2/2 police. Nothing has been recovered from her possession. It has also been submitted that petitioner is a lady. The quantity of contraband which has been recovered from the possession of this petitioner is though more than small quantity but is much less than commercial quantity.

The above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail in connection with Athmalgola P.S. Case No. 236 of 2025 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sessions Judge/Special Judge (NDPS), Patna.
