02 23.06.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned

Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Allegedly, some opium plants were found in Khata No. 151

pertaining to plot nos. 2976 and 2977.

The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that

the aforesaid plots do not belong to the petitioner. In support of his

contention, he drew my attention towards Annexure-2 to this petition

which reveals that the aforesaid plots belong to one Shisu Mahto and

others who were resident of village Lakhaipur whereas petitioner is said

to be resident of Village Ajnawa. Furthermore, parentage of aforesaid

Shisu Mahto and others also does not tally with the parentage of the

petitioner.

Accordingly, petitioner is directed to be released on bail on

furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties

of the like amount each to the satisfaction of 1st Additional Sessions

Judge-cum-Special Judge, N.D.P.S., Gaya in connection with N.D.P.S.

Case No. 16 of 2008 arising out of Excise Case No. 49 of 2008.
