Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24137 of 2025(2) dt.02-05-2025 2/3

¶19

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case. Police did not follow the mandatory provisions of Sections 42 and 50 of the NDPS Act. Nothing incriminating has been recovered from the person or possession of the petitioners. Petitioners have no concern with the alleged occurrence. Weight of the contraband was taken with the paper in which it was kept and if the weight of the wrapper is discounted, the weight of the contraband recovered from the petitioners would come under the small quantity. In any case the weight of the seized contraband is much less than the commercial quantity. Petitioners are in custody since 05.11.2024 and charge-sheet has been submitted. Petitioner nos. 1 and 2 are having clean antecedent whereas petitioner no.3 is having antecedent of one case.

¶20

Learned A.P.P. opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioners. Learned APP submits that the petitioners were caught red-handed from their house.

¶21

Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the fact that the quantity of recovered contraband is not the commercial quantity and also considering the period of custody
