2. The petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offence under Sections 21(b) and 22(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. He next submits that petitioner has got clean antecedent as stated in para-3 of the petitioner and he is in custody since 16.09.2023. 5.

Learned APP appearing for the State, opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.24219 of 2024(2) dt.04-04-2024 2/2 6.

On perusal of the first information report, seizure list and impugned order dated 13.02.2024, it appears that ten grams brown sugar was recovered from the possession of the petitioner, this is more than small quantity and less than commercial quantity, so this is a very serious offence, hence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

8. However, the trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and if the trial is not concluded within the stipulated period, then the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail before the trial Court.
