IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.1756 of 2011 MUZAFFAR ALAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 28.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with N.D.P.S. P.S. Case No.97 of 2009 arising out of Ramgarhwa P.S. Case No.133 of 2009 registered under Sections 15, 18, 20, 22, 24 of the N.D.P.S. Act and 25(1-B)A/26/29 of the Arms Act. Allegedly, the house of one Sahjad Alam was raided, and petitioner as well as other accused persons were arrested. Furthermore, on search 110 Kg of Charas and 34 Kg of Ganja along with five life cartridges and some apparatus for preparation of the Charas were recovered from the aforesaid house. The contention of above stated Sahjad Alam and as a matter of fact, nothing has been recovered from conscious possession of the petitioner. He further submitted petitioner is an old man aged about 60 years and he is languishing in jail custody for more than one 2 year, particularly, in the circumstance when the mandatory provision of NDPS Act has not been complied with in this case. I am not at all convinced with the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, and therefore, considering the above stated recovery as well as facts and circumstances of the case the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. However, the court concerned is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner. PN ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
