Dr. Mritunjaya Kumar Gautam, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 20-01-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State and perused the report dated 24.12.2020 submitted by the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge-cumSpecial Judge, NDPS Act, Aurangabad. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Excise Case No. 11 of 2016 registered under Section 20(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and Section 47(a) of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. The prayer for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected twice by this Court vide orders dated 07.09.2017 and 29.08.2018.

There is no fresh ground for reconsideration of prayer for bail of the petitioner.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.32929 of 2020(3) dt.20-01-2021 2/2 The report called for from the trial court reveals that all the material witnesses have already been examined by the prosecution and the case is fixed for proving C.F.S.L. report. The trial court has also reported that the trial of the case would be disposed of within a month.

Considering the nature of the offence, the advanced stage of the trial and the report submitted by the trial court, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected.

In case, the trial is not concluded within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the order, the petitioner would be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail before the court below itself.
