IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44748 of 2009 1. BIRENDRA KUMAR SHARMA S/O MOHAN LAL SHARMA R/O VILL.- KHUDDU, P.O.- SONARI, P.S.- RAMBAL, DISTT.- UDHAMPUR (JAMMU & KASHMIR). Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. ----------- 04. 08.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 20(b)(ii), 23 and 25 of the N.D.P.S. Act. In view of the report of the trial court that seven witnesses have already been examined, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner on this score alone. Without entering into the merits of the case, the prayer for bail is rejected. The 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur will ensure the conclusion of the trial at an early date in view of the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 05.07.2003. Let this order be communicated to 5th Additional Sessions Judge, Muzaffarpur in connection with D.R.I. No. 18 of 2003 (T.R. No. 9 of 2009) through FAX at the cost of the petitioner.
