Sk Jamir Hossain @ Raj v. State Of West Bengal

07.07.2023 sdas rejected C.R.M.(NDPS) No. 1228 of 2023 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Saktigarh Police Station Case No. 167 of 2019 dated 14.10.2019 under Sections 21(c ) of the NDPS Act.

And In Re : Sk. Jamir Hossain @ Raj .... petitioner Mr. Suman De Mr. Abhinaba Mukherjee ....for the petitioner Mr. Antarikhya Basu ...... for the State Petitioner renews his bail prayer.

Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits there is delay in trial.

Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits his bail prayer was rejected earlier and the schedule within which the trial was proposed to be concluded has not expired.

We have considered the materials on record. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier in December, 2022. At the time of rejection this Court directed the trial court to conclude the trial within one year from the next date fixed for recording evidence. Said time schedule has not expired as yet. Under such circumstances we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
