IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27891 of 2009 NANDKISHOR SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 21.08.2009 Heard both sides. Sole petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 20 of the N.D.P.S.Act. The allegation as per F.I.R. is that the house of the petitioner was searched and two persons including the petitioner were found inside the house. It is alleged that from the possession of this petitioner 08 kgs and odd grams of ‘ganja’ was/were recovered. It is stated from the possession of another accused 12 Kgs and odd grams of ‘ganja’ was/were recovered. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the ‘ganja’ so recovered from the possession of the petitioner will constitute less than commercial quantity. It is further contended that petitioner is in custody since 26.10.2008. This court, having regard to the allegation and the materials available on record, is not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected. However, considering the fact that only 08 Kgs and odd grams of ‘ganja’ was/were recovered from the possession of the petitioner, this court grants liberty to the petitioner to renew prayer for bail after 06 months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order in the court below, if the trial in the meanwhile does not commence.
