2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Purshottampur P.S. Case No. 73 of 2025 registered for the offence under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c), 23(c) and 29 of the NDPS Act.

3. As per the prosecution case, 53.068 kg of Charas was recovered by the SSB when they intercepted a motorcycle being driven by one Chotu Sah. After the SSB personnel stopped the motorcycle, one person fled away, who is said to be the present petitioner.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.25070 of 2026(2) dt.16-04-2026 2/2 Petitioner is in custody since 28.10.2025.

5. Learned counsel for the State vehemently opposes the bail application.

6. I have considered the submissions of the parties and have gone through the records of the case. Since there is a huge recovery and the petitioner has been found to be involved in the transportation of Charas, this Court is not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, this application for regular bail stands rejected. However, if the trial is delayed by the prosecution, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail. The prosecution is directed to expedite the trial.

8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case and shall not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any manner.
