2. This Court, vide order dated 06.11.2024, passed in MCRC No. 6444 of 2024, while allowing the bail to the applicant, namely, Samar Havaldar, had expressed its trust that the trial Court should make an earnest endeavor to conclude the trial expeditiously in accordance with law, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of the order, if there was no legal impediment.
3. The learned Special Judge (NDPS Act), South Bastar Dantewada, District-Sourth Bastar Dantewada (C.G.) vide his request letter dated 29.04.2025 has requested for grant of some more time for concluding the KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN
2 trial.
4. It transpires from perusal of the PUD that in this case, a total of 8 prosecution witnesses are to be examined, out of which 7 witnesses have already been examined. To examine the remaining prosecution witness, Inspector Santosh Singh, a summon is being issued through the Superintendent of Police for the next hearing. However, it does not seem possible to dispose of the case within the stipulated time. Hence the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some more time.
5. The request appears to be reasonable. The concerned trial Court is
directed to conclude the trial as early as possible, preferably within a further period of four months from today.
6. Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction.
