For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Krishna Chandra For the Opposite Party/s : Smt. Gulnar Begam ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 19-07-2017 This application is for grant of bail in connection with Karja P.S. Case No. 18 of 2017 registered for the offence(s) under section(s) 414 of the Indian Penal Code, section 25 (1-AA), 25 (1b) a, 26/35 of the Arms Act and sections 8, 20 and 22 of the N.D.P.S. Act.

Allegation, as per the FIR, is that Police intercepted one 'Bolero' vehicle in which the petitioner was sitting and from his possession, one life cartridge and 3 Kg. and 150 Grams Ganja have been recovered.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case, as he had not fulfilled the demand of Police personnel and now the petitioner is in custody for about five months.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.30433 of 2017 (2) dt.19-07-2017 2/2 Heard learned Additional Public Prosecutor also. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner, stating that more than small quantity of Ganja and one live cartridge have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner and he is in accused in several other cases also, which will appear from paragraph 3 of this application.

Having heard both sides and in view of the facts and circumstances, as stated above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However as the petitioner is in custody for five months, the Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same within a period of nine months from the date of receipt or production of a copy of this order. With the above observation and direction, this application is dismissed.
