IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29209 of 2010 MD. SARFUDDIN @ SAIFUDDIN @ SAUKUDDIN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 04 01.12.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Allegedly, 10 Kgs. Ganja has been recovered from possession of petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that mandatory provisions of the N.D.P.S. Act have not been complied with, but I am not, at all, convinced with the above stated submission. Non-compliance of mandatory provision is not fatal at the time of consideration of bail application. Accordingly, bail prayer of petitioner, namely, Md. Sarfuddin @ Saifuddin @ Saukuddin stands rejected in connection with Special Case No. 09 of 2010 arising out of Kishanganj P.S. Case No. 156 of 2010. However, petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after completing 10 months in judicial custody. Shahzad ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
