SRI.G.SUDHEER RESPONDENTS: COMPLAINANT ------------------------ INTELLIGENCE OFFICER, NARCOTICS CONTROL BUREAU, REGIONAL INTELLIGENCE UNIT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, REPRESENTED BY THE SPECIAL PUBLIC PROSECUTOR, NARCOTICS CONTROL BUREAU, HIGH COURT OF KERALA, ERNAKULAM. BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SRI.S.U.NAZER SRI.C.P.UDAYABHANU THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/08/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: R.BASANT, J. ---------------------- B.A.No.4326 of 2007 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th day of August 2007 O R D E R Application for regular bail. The learned Standing Counsel for the Narcotics Control Bureau reports that the expert has already prepared the report and the same is now processed and being forwarded to the court concerned. The petitioner faces allegations under the N.D.P.S.Act. The quantity involved is neither commercial quantity nor small quantity. Earlier, another Bench of this court has considered the application for regular bail and has held that the petitioner is not entitled for regular bail and the trial deserves to be completed expeditiously. 2. I find no reasons at this stage to take any different view. I am certainly of the opinion that the learned Judge must complete the trial as expeditiously as possible after getting the report from the expert. I expect the learned Judge to complete the trial as expeditiously as possible at any rate within a further period of two months from this date. If, in the meantime, the trial is not complete and the final disposal is not made, the option of the petitioner to approach this court again for bail shall remain unfettered. 3. This petition is accordingly dismissed with the above observations. (R.BASANT, JUDGE) jsr // True Copy// PA to Judge B.A.No.4326/07 2 B.A.No.4326/07 3 R.BASANT, J. CRL.M.CNo. ORDER 21ST DAY OF MAY2007
