Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is an accused in a case under Section 20 (a)(b)1 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and is alleged to have kept 10 Kgs. of Ganja in the house of Janak Yadav for which the First Information Report was lodged as early as on 25.12.2001. Petitioner remained absconder as he was arrested in June, 2008. Meanwhile, Janak Kumar Yadav has been tried and acquitted. Petitioner could not avail the benefit of the earlier trial as he remained absconding. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail. His prayer for bail is, accordingly, rejected with direction to the court below (Sessions Judge, Madhubani) to proceed with the trial (Ladaniya P.S.Case No. 113 of 2001) and conclude the same at the earliest.
