IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr Misc No 4803 of 2011 Suresh Sahni @ Mundrika Sahani, son of Ramayan Sahni, resident of Village – Sidhwalia, Police Station – Kangali in the district of West Champaran - Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 The Union of India through Director, Narcotic Control Bureau, Delhi - Opposite Party ----------- 2 01.03.2011 The petitioner is in custody in relation to NDPS Case No 93 of 2009, C No VIII (10) 156/Cus/Sciz/RXL/2009, a case instituted by the Customs Officers in relation to recovery of about 25 Kgs of Ganja in six packets of different size and weight from the petitioner while he was travelling by train. Notwithstanding the fact that the petitioner has been in custody since 08.10.2009, as the quantity of Ganja allegedly seized is far above the commercial quantity, I am not inclined to entertain this application. Prayer of petitioner for bail is rejected. However, I direct the Special Judge I/c, Motihari, East Champaran to immediately take up the trial of the said case and, if possible, conclude the same within three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order before the said Court. In case, the trial is not concluded within three months subject to petitioner’s fully cooperating, the petitioner would be entitled to renew his prayer for bail before the trial Court.
