Raghuveer Rai v. The State Of A.P., Rep. By P.P.

THE HON'BLE DR. JUSTICE SHAMEEM AKTHER CRIMINAL PETITION No.11075 OF 2017 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner/A.1, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent State and perused the record.

This petition is filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of bail to the petitioner/accused in Crime No.23 of 2017 of Chinturu Police Station, East Godavari District, for the offence punishable under Section 8(c) read with Section 20(b)(II)(c) of NDPS Act. The earlier bail application of the petitioner was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 06.06.2017 in Crl.P.No.3616 of 2017.

Having regard to the submissions made by both sides and as the ganja seized is a commercial quantity, it is not a fit case to allow this application. There are no changed circumstances. However, the trial Court can be directed to expedite the trial. With the above direction, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. ____________________________ Dr. SHAMEEM AKTHER, J 23rd NOVEMBER, 2017.
