1.

The petitioners renew their prayer for bail, which was rejected on merits on April 10, 2024. Allegedly 2275 bottles of cough syrup containing codeine phosphate was recovered from these petitioners. We do not find any change of circumstances since then. Hence, we are not inclined to entertain this application for bail. 2.

The prayer for bail is rejected.

3.

CRM (NDPS) 458 of 2024 is dismissed.

4.

We are told that the trial has started and evidence is being recorded. Considering that the petitioners are in

custody for 406 days, we request the learned Trial Court to expedite the trial as much as it can and conclude the same on an early date.

The parties shall communicate this order to the learned Trial Court.
