====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 23-01-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

Petitioner in the present case is seeking regular bail in connection with Special Case No. 76 of 2018 arising out of Narcotic Control Bureau Case No. 35 of 2018 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 8/20/23/25/27A/29 of NDPS Act, 1985.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. It is further submitted that the petitioner is a simple labourer and for running his livelihood. He did not know about the materials which had been loaded in the vehicle. The petitioner is in custody since 21.07.2018 having no criminal antecedent. Learned A.P.P. for the State has opposed the prayer for

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.62425 of 2019(5) dt.23-01-2020 2/2 bail of the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case particularly the huge quantity of Ganja recovered from the vehicle in which this petitioner was found present and in course of investigation it has come that this petitioner was a co-driver, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Let the trial be expedited.

The petitioner may renew his prayer for bail if the trial is not concluded within a reasonable period. (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) vats/ved U T
