As per the prosecution case, the allegations against the accused persons (petitioners) are that 1.8 Kgs of Ganja was recovered from a room in which the petitioners were present. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence and Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22635 of 2025(2) dt.23-04-2025 2/3 have falsely been implicated in this case. He submits that the alleged Ganja was recovered from a bag which was kept in an almirah and nothing has been recovered from their conscious possession. He further submits that 1.8 Kgs of Ganja was alleged to be recovered from a room where all the three petitioners were present. Petitioners have got clean antecedent as stated in para 3 of the petition is in custody since 05.02.2025. 5. Learned APP opposes the prayer for bail and submits that 1.8 Kgs of Ganja has been recovered from a room from where the petitioners were apprehended. 6. From perusal of the FIR and impugned order of the learned Sessions Judge/Special Judge (NDPS), Patna dated 11.03.2025, it appears that petitioners are named in the FIR. It also appears that on the basis of written report of the informant Sunil Paswan, Police Sub-Inspector, FIR has been registered under Sections 8, 20(b)(ii) (B) and 22(B) of the N.D.P.S. Act against three named accused persons (all petitioners). It appears that total 1.8 Kgs Ganja has been recovered from the joint possession of all the above three petitioners. From bare perusal of the seizure list, it appears that all the two seizure list witnesses are the police personnel, so considered all aspects of the matter, quantity of recovered articles and other aspects of the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.22635 of 2025(2) dt.23-04-2025 3/3 matter as well as submissions of learned counsel for the petitioners, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioners. 7.

Let the petitioners above named be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Patna in connection with Rajeev Nagar P.S.
