The learned Special Judge (NDPS Act), Raipur, District-Raipur (C.G.) vide his request letter dated 07.04.2025 has requested for grant of six months time for concluding the trial. 5. It transpires from perusal of the PUD that the case is currently fixed for prosecution evidence and the statements of 05 prosecution witnesses have been recorded and the statements of 04 prosecution witnesses are yet to be recorded. Considering the number of witnesses, it does not seem possible to dispose of the case within the prescribed time. Hence the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some more time. 6.

Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 8. Registry is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice Kunal
