IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.6915 of 2010 KRISHNA SAO, SON OF RAM NANDAN SAO, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE-RAMPUR, P.S.- RAGHOPUR, DISTRICT-VAISHALI. …..Petitioner. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …..Opposite Party. ----------- 02/ 31.03.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the State. This is the fourth attempt of the petitioner for grant of bail and it has been submitted that there is no progress in the trial. The recovery is of 160 kgs. of Ganja which is commercial quantity and at the time of seizure the petitioner was present there. The recovered Ganja is of commercial quantity. The provision of grant of bail to an accused who is involved in offence relating to recovery of commercial quantity is prescribed under Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act and the accused is entitled to be released on bail only if the court is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that he is not guilty of such offence and he is not likely to commit such offence while on bail. There is nothing on record from which these inferences can be 2 drawn. Considering the legal position and huge quantity of recovery, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 15.02.2007. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
