For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Vijay Kumar Sinha, Adv For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Sri Kumar Virendra Narayan ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 12-04-2017 The petitioner has earlier moved before this Court for grant of bail, which was rejected vide order dated 14.02.2017 passed in Criminal Miscellaneous No.4308 of 2017, with liberty to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that now charge has been framed in this case and the petitioner is in custody for about four months.

Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and considering the fact that huge quantity of ganja has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

However the trial court is directed to expedite the
