IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31035 of 2010 BUTAN SINGH @ RAM PRAVESH SINGH Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/- 04.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Adapur (Nakardei) P.S. Case No 161 of 2009 registered under Sections 20, 22, 23 and 24 of N.D.P.S. Act. Allegedly, 16 kgs. Ganja were recovered from the conscious possession of the petitioner. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that petitioner is in jail custody for more than one year but learned P.P. refers the criminal antecedents of the petitioner. Considering the nature of the allegation as well as materials available in the Case Diary, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, learned Court below is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner and if the trial of the petitioner is not concluded 2 within six months from the date of receipt of this order, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. Ashwini/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
