IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12675 of 2010 1. SMT. SHANTI DEVI WIFE OF SHRI SHANKAR BIND 2. SMT. KALAWATI DEVI WIFE OF SHRI PRABHU SAH Versus 1. THE UNION OF INDIA 2. THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Md. Anish Akhtar, Advocate For the Union of India : Mr. Md. Abu Haidar, C.G.C. ------- 3. 24.6.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the Union of India. The petitioners seek bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 20, 23 and 25 of the N.D.P.S. Act. The prosecution case is that the petitioners were arrested with charas and booked in the present case. A report was called for from the trial court about the stage of the trial since the petitioners are in custody since 9.6.2007. The report reveals that six witnesses out of ten have already been examined and only six months further time is required to conclude the trial. In view of such, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court will take recourse to Section 66 Cr.P.C. for summoning the official witnesses so that there is no further delay in the trial. Narendra/ ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
