16. Similarly, under the Opium Act, it has been held by Thadani, C.J. and Ram Labhaya, J. in -- 'Bholanath Sarma v. King', AIR 1949 Assam. 73 (Y) that where substantial amount of opium is found in the bedroom of the accused with weighing scales and small weights, knowledge of the presence of the opium in the house can reasonably be attributed to him under Section 10, Opium Act. The accused is then required to account satisfactorily for his possession' and his failure renders him liable to a conviction under Section 9 of the Act.
