The only question is whether the 1st accused was in possession of the opium. We think he was. Admittedly he knew there was opium in the box and the box was in his custody in his house. We, therefore, see no reason to interfere with the conviction. We think, however, a fine of Rs. 5 is sufficient penalty in the circumstances of the case and we reduce the fine to that amount. The balance of the fine will be refunded.
