IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31006 of 2008 RAMESHWAR SINGH @ RAMESHWAR MAHTA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 26.9.2008 Heard. The police received information about the cultivation of poppy plants by the petitioner in his field amidst maize plants. Accordingly, the police went to the field of the petitioner and three different area as indicated in the written report were found cultivated with poppy plants. The contention is that it could not be said in absence of the report of the chemical analyst that indeed it were quality poppy plants which could be used in manufacturing any drug. It was further contended that might be that the plants had grown widely. The Court could have accepted any of the two contentions but for the reason that the plantation was amidst maize plants and in a manner so as to concealing it which is indicated by intermittent of sowing of plants in the same field which was intervened by sowing of maize plants. It is not easy for the Courts under the prevailing circumstances to get the reports of the chemical analysis. However, the statement of the petitioner recorded by the officer also lends support to the allegation. Petition is dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
