12. Then, under the circumstances it would be profitable to refer to the case of Megh Singh (supra) whereby the Apex Court has held that requirement of Sections 55, 20, 54 & 35 of the Act was that the possession must be conscious possession. Section 20(b) makes possession of contraband articles an offence. In order to make the possession illicit, there must be conscious possession. "The expression 'possession' is a polymorphous term which assumes different colours in different contexts. It may carry different meanings in contextually different backgrounds. It is impossible, to work out a completely logical and precise definition of 'possession' uniformally applicable to all situations in the context of all statutes. Possession in a given case need not be physical possession but can be constructive".
