The petitioner has been made an accused in this case in connection with Patratu (Bhurkunda) P.S. Case No. 176 of 2023 corresponding to NDPS Case No. 10 of 2023 registered for offences punishable under Sections 20(b)(ii), 22 of N.D.P.S. Act, which is pending in the Court of Learned Sessions Judge, at Ramgarh. 3. As per FIR, it is alleged that on 26.09.2023 at about 05:15 A.M., informant received secret information about the persons involved in the sale and purchase of opium in Sundar Nagar. A raiding team was constituted and reached at the house of the petitioner where 50 Kg of opium was recovered. In furtherence, raid led to the recovery of 65 kg opium from RanjitYadav’s house and all suspects were apprehended. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence at all rather he has been falsely implicated in this case. The petitioner is languishing in jail since 26.09.2023. Petitioner undertakes to co- operate in the trial of the case by remaining physically present as and when required and shall not indulge in any manner in tampering with the prosecution evidences or influencing the 2025:JHHC:15454 witnesses of prosecution, hence, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, earlier the regular bail application of the petitioner has already been rejected on merits and there are no fresh grounds. The status report called from the court concerned shows that out of 08 charge-sheeted witnesses 05 witnesses have been examined and it is expected that the trial of this case may be concluded within 04 to 06 months. Under the circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, which stands rejected. 7. The learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial of this case within 06 months otherwise petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail.
