IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.28399 of 2009 NARAYAN SAHNI SON OF SRI INDERDEO SAHNI RESIDENT OF VILLAGE HARSIDHI,P.S.HARSIDHI,DISTRICT EAST CHAMPARAN Versus THE UNION OF INDIA ----------- 5/ 18.11.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks bail in DRI Case No. 03 of 2005 (Trial No.7 of 2005/7 of 2006) for offences under Sections 20,23 and 25 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on three occasions. This is the fourth attempt. The grievance of the petitioner is that the trial is not progressing because the petitioner has been transferred to another jail. He is in jail custody since 15.3.2005. While rejecting the prayer for bail on 19.8.2008 in Cr.Misc.No. 34500 of 2008, this court has considered the contents prescribed in Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, according to which, the accused is entitled to be released only if the court is satisfied 2 that there are reasonable grounds for believing that he is not guilty of such offence and that he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail. There is nothing on record from which these inferences can be drawn. Considering the fact and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that there was recovery of 119 Kgs. Of ganja from the truck being driven by the petitioner, his prayer for bail was rejected. There is no fresh ground to reconsider the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is again rejected. However, since the petitioner is in jail custody since 15.3.2005, the trial court will take all steps for production of the petitioner on the next date in the case and to conclude the trial at the earliest.
