IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18262 of 2010 RAJ KUMAR MUKHIYA @ RAJO MUKHIYA, S/o Shri Ram Parvesh Mukhiya. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Union of India through Director, NCB, New Delhi. ----------- 05. 11.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 15, 18, 29 and 30 of the N.D.P.S. Act. The prosecution case is that the police raided a village on suspicion that opium plants were illegally cultivated on some fields. On reaching there four accused persons were arrested who stated that three persons including the petitioner were getting the cultivation done. One of the co-accused who was getting the alleged cultivation done had been granted bail by this Court since it appears that apart from this bald statement there is no other allegation against him. Where the petitioner is concerned there is an allegation in the First Information Report that petitioner’s fields were being used for cultivation of opium and, therefore, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude it in view of the serious nature of the offence. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
