IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2831 of 2011 SATAN RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 23.2.2011 Heard. Considering the huge recovery of 90 K.Gs.of Ganja from the very residential house of the petitioner, the Court is still not inclined to allow the prayer for bail on this renewal prayer. The petition is dismissed. However, in a case of the nature like the present one invariably the officials are the witnesses, may be of the Customs Department or of Police establishment. Here in the present case, S.I. Shri Kamakhya Narain Singh was the informant who made a report, i.e., self statement of the informant, and the accompanying police personnel named in the very report were the witnesses. It simply appears a travesty that the court has ordered issuance of warrant of arrest for procuring attendance of such official witnesses whose primary duty is not only to produce witnesses but also to give their own evidence. I direct the Superintendent of East Champaran, Motihari to ensure that none of the persons named in the F.I.R. as witnesses gets his salary till he produces the certificate from the trial court that he had appeared and deposed in N.D.P.S.Case No. 100 of 2007 arising out of Piprakothi P.S.Case No. 190 of 2007 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-I, East Champaran, 2 Motihari. In case any of the witnesses has been transferred from the jurisdiction of police establishment, East Cgamparan to any other Police establishment, a copy of the order shall be transmitted to the counterpart Superintendent of the Police by the Superintendent of Police, Motihari, who shall ensure compliance of the order in the same manner as if this order has the binding effect on him also. It is expected that the case is concluded in six weeks from the date a copy of this order is received/produced before the learned trial Judge. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
