PRAYER :- For Bail in Crime No.743 of 2023 on the file of the Respondent Police. ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioner / Accused No.4 herein, who was arrested on 13.08.2022 for the alleged offence under Sections 8(c), 20(b)(ii)(C) and 29(1) of NDPS, in Crime No.743 of 2023, on the file of the respondent police, seeks bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that on 12.08.2023, the petitioner and four other accused were in illegal possession of 22.500 kgs of Ganja. Hence the complaint.

3. While passing orders in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.11799 of 2023, which was filed by Pandiselvi/ Accused No.8, by the very same counsel, a direction was issued to the trial Court to complete the process within a period of five months and the order was passed on 11.07.2023 and the learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon the order in Crl.O.P.(MD)No.11021 of 2023, in respect of the sixth accused.

4. However, considering the fact that subsequent order was passed on 11.07.2023, I find no reason to entertain this petition at this stage. Let the trial Court complete the trial as directed earlier.
