====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 20-09-2017 Heard Sri S.N.P.Sinha, learned Senior Counsel, assisted by Sri Uday Pratap Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor.

This is second attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner in connection with Asarganj P.S. Case No.28/2016 registered for the offence under Sections 20/22 of the N.D.P.S. Act,1985. Earlier the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected on 05.12.2016 vide Cr.Misc.No.41619 of 2016. The petitioner is in custody since 01.05.2016 in connection with Asarganj P.S. No.28/2016 on an allegation of recovery of 25 Kg of Ganja.

Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that though in the case, charge was framed on 09.12.2016, only nine witnesses were cited as prosecution

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.41883 of 2017(2) dt.20-09-2017 2/2 witness, till date not even single witness has been examined. Considering the fact that earlier on merit, the prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected, there is no reason to review my earlier order. The prayer for bail of the petitioner stands again rejected. However, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 01.05.2016 and charge has already been framed on 09.12.2016, while dismissing the bail petition, it is desirable to direct the trial court as well as prosecution to take necessary steps, so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay.
