IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.27488 of 2009 TAJAMMUL @ TAJUDDIN Son of Late Ibrahim, Resident of Village Diyari P.S. Araria, District-Araria. Versus STATE OF BIHAR With Cr.Misc. No.27349 of 2009 1.MUSTAFA Son of Late Tahir 2.Md. Quasim Son of Late Ibrahim Both resident of Village Diyari P.S. Araria, District Araria, Resident of petitioner no.2 of present Raja Bari, Khazanch Hat, Peek Para St R. Hat, District Purnea. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 4/9/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners in both the cases as also counsel for the State. Such offences under the N.D.P.S. Act relating to cultivation of Opium plant has to be viewed seriously and that is why this Court had granted bail to the other accused only after completing judicial custody over 15 months. Considering the fact that other co-accused were also granted bail after completing jail custody of one year or more, this Court would also give liberty to the petitioners to move for bail after completing their period of judicial custody of one year. As the allegations under the N.D.P.S. Act can be and should be subjected to trial at an early date, it will be necessary that in the intervening period trial of the petitioners is also completed and the petitioners, therefore, after completing the period of judicial custody of one year will have liberty to move the trial court, which will record reasons for not concluding the trial and only thereafter the petitioners can move for bail before this 2 Court. With the aforementioned observation, these two applications are dismissed for the present. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
