The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 08.05.2025 at about 03:25 AM, during patrolling, the informant noticed a person riding a black Ola Electric Scooter bearing registration no. BR38AM7246, moving from India towards Nepal with suspected goods. On being signaled to stop, the person abandoned the scooter and attempted to flee towards Nepal but was apprehended by the patrolling team. He disclosed Patna High Court CR. MISC.

Upon search of the scooter, large quantities of Dicyclomine HCL tablets IP 20mg Healthydicyclo- 20, Pyrazosulfuron Ethyl herbicides, and Tramadol Hydrochloride capsules were recovered. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated. Nothing was recovered from his possession. He has also submitted that without FSL report, the charge sheet has been submitted. 5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the alleged contraband recovered is in commercial quantity and the charge sheet has been submitted. He has submitted that the FSL report has been submitted and the drugs were found psychotropic. 6. Considering the above-mentioned facts and circumstances, in my view, the petitioner doesn’t deserve the privileges for bail. Accordingly, it is rejected. kundan/- (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) U T Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.53074 of 2025(4) dt.08-01-2026 3/3
