Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that when the case was taken up on 12-7-2023, inadvertently a submission was made that charges have been framed as such the order dated 12-72023 recorded that the trial be completed within a specified time. It is next submitted that charge till date has not been framed, on which learned APP, Shri. Chandra Bhushan Prasad, submits that it absolutely does not stand to reason that on what basis the said submission was made in Cr. Misc No. 43422 of 2023 on 12-7-2023 that charges have been framed.

Learned APP next submits that petitioner has antecedent of sixteen cases and is involved in a case relating to NDPS and charges till date have not been framed and if petitioner is granted the privilege of regular bail, he will abscond. 7.

Considering the submission made by learned APP, the Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. 8.

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