====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 03-10-2018 Heard Sri Jay Ram Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. This is the third attempt for grant of bail on behalf of the petitioner, who is in custody since 10-06-2016 in Special Case No. 27 of 2016 (arising out of Malsalami P.S. Case No. 158 of 2016) registered for the offence under Sections 20, 22, 25, 25(A) of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985.

Learned counsel for the petitioner tried to persuade the court to grant bail on merit, but fact remains that from the vehicle of the petitioner, about 208 kg. of Ganja was shown to be recovered.

Considering the fact that on merit, the prayer for bail of the petitioner has already been rejected twice, there is no

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.56905 of 2018(2) dt.03-10-2018 2/2 reason to again entertain the same.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner again stands dismissed.

However, considering the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 10-06-2016, while dismissing, it is desirable to observe that the learned court below as well as the prosecution may take all steps, so that the case may come to its logical end without unnecessary delay.
