Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr.Bachan Jee Ojha, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md.

JUSTICE RAJEEV RANJAN PRASAD ORAL ORDER 2 14-02-2025 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State. 2. The petitioner in the present case is seeking regular bail in connection with Barachatti P.S. Case No.278 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 15, 18 and 20 of the N.D.P.S. Act. He is in custody since 31.07.2024. The petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. 3. Earlier, the prayer for pre-arrest bail of the petitioner was rejected on 09.09.2020 in Cr.Misc.No.18587 of 2020 by this Court after taking note of the fact that the seized Doda is 100 kgs which is much more than the commercial quantity and the three conditions provided under Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985 are not getting satisfied. 4. It appears that the petitioner did not surrender even Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.84390 of 2024(2) dt.14-02-2025 2/2 after rejection of his anticipatory bail application for almost four years. He is in custody only since 31.07.2024. In such circumstance, considering the gravity of the offence alleged and the conditions imposed under Section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act, it is not a fit case for grant of bail to the petitioner at this stage. 5. Let the trial be expedited. arvind/- (Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, J) U T
