The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Dhananjaya Nath Tiwari For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Amitesh Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 2.

16-08-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

This is the 2nd attempt for grant of bail on behalf of petitioner in Tarabari P.S. Case No. 34 of 2016, corresponding to Special Case No. 17 of 2016, registered for offence under Sections 20, 22, 23 & 24 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. Earlier, the prayer for bail of petitioner was rejected on 01-12-2016, vide Cr. Misc. No. 40433 of 2016, considering the fact that there was recovery of about 30 Kg. of Ganja. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though petitioner is in custody since long and though trial has already commenced, the trial is not proceeding expeditiously. Considering the fact that on merit, the prayer for bail

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31608 of 2017 (2) dt.16-08-2017 2/2 was already rejected, there is no reason to review my earlier order. However, while dismissing the present petition, it is desirable to observe that learned trial court as well as prosecution may take all steps so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
