2026:JHHC:7694 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B.A. No. 9247 of 2025 ------ Ranjeet Ganjhu .... .... …. Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand .... .... .... Opp. Party CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY For the Petitioner : Mr. Ramesh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Vishwanath Roy, Special P.P. ------ Order No.05 / Dated : 19.03.2026 Heard Mr. Ramesh Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Special P.P. The petitioner has earlier moved this Court for grant of bail in B.A. No.10384 of 2024 which was dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 12.02.2025. The petitioner is an accused in connection with NDPS Case No.11 of 2024 arising out of Bariyatu P.S. Case No. 28 of 2024 pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Spl. Judge, NDPS, Latehar. It has been alleged that house of the petitioner was searched by the police and 1.580 Kg of opium and 105 Kg of Doda were recovered. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the house from where the recovery was effected, does not belong to the petitioner. It has further been submitted that though the petitioner is in custody since 29.06.2024, but till date not a single witness has been examined by the prosecution. Learned Special P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. It appears from the supplementary counter affidavit filed by the State that in course of enquiry, it was detected that house from which the seizure was effected, is the abode of the wife and daughter of the petitioner and they have also stated that the house belongs to the petitioner. Regard being had to the ascertainment of the fact that the house in question from which the recovery was effected, belongs to the petitioner and the recovery of 105 Kg. of Doda is a commercial quantity, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and the same is hereby rejected at this stage.
