Opp.Party ------ For the petitioner: None. For the State: Mr.Chandrasen Prasad Singh. ------ P R E S E N T THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ------- Rakesh Kumar,J. No one appears on behalf of the petitioner either to press this petition or even to make prayer for adjournment. 2. The petitioner has challenged the order dated 22.7.1998 passed by learned Sessions Judge, Jehanabad in N.D. Trial No.2 of 1998 in Kurtha P.S. Case No.45 of 1998. By the said order the learned court had taken cognizance of the offence under section 20 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985(hereinafter NDPS Act). The petitioner has also prayed for quashing of the entire proceedings in the case. 3. I have perused the first information report as well as order dated 22.7.1998 whereby the learned Sessions Judge, Jehanabad had taken cognizance of the offence under section 20 of the NDPS Act. 4. Short fact of the case is that while the police had gone to arrest an accused in connection with another case and a raid was conducted, it was found that the petitioner had planted Ganja in the inner portion of his compound. Accordingly, a case 2 was instituted and after investigation charge sheet was submitted by the police. By the impugned order it is evident that the learned court after examining the materials available on the record had taken cognizance of the offence. 5. I do not find any error in the impugned order. Accordingly, the petition stands rejected. 6. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the court below forthwith. Patna High Court The 31st March, 2010 Md.S./NAFR. ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
