IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.24821 of 2010 Ramesh Kumar Versus State Of Bihar ----------- 8/ 11.08.2011 The petitioner had sought bail in Raxaul P.S. Case No.83 of 2009 instituted under the provisions of Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act and section 414 Indian Penal Code. The allegation was that 500 grams of substance suspected to be smack was recovered from the possession of the petitioner. This Court had called for the case diary and subsequently refused the prayer for bail by order dated 28.09.2010. While rejecting the prayer for bail, the Special Court was asked to give explanation as to what steps had been undertaken by him for obtaining the report of the alleged articles from the Director, Forensic Science Laboratory. The Trial Court sent a report to this Court, but this Court was not satisfied with the said report and, therefore, his explanation was sent to the District and Sessions Judge, East Champaran, Motihari, for ensuring that from henceforth his officers take effective steps for procurement of the report at the earliest. In the meanwhile, the Director, Forensic Science Laboratory reported that he had not received the samples of the case which was noted by this Court in its order dated 09.03.2011. This Court by order dated 11.05.2011 forwarded the communication of the Director, Forensic Science Laboratory, Patna, dated 11.02.2011 to the Court concerned for taking appropriate steps against the 2 persons, who had obstructed the course of justice by not sending the samples to the Director, Forensic Science Laboratory, Patna.
