The petition is taken up through video-conference on the basis of such undertaking. The learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 22.8.2015. As there has been no progress in the trial for a considerable period of time, the learned Advocate prays that the petitioner may be released on bail. The learned Advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and produces the memo of evidence from which it is reflected that 946 bottles of phensedyl were recovered from the possession of the petitioner.
