This Court, vide order dated 30.10.2025 passed in MCRC No. 8603 of 2025, while rejecting the bail of the applicants, namely, Kanha Giri Goswami and Gajanandgiri Goswami had expressed its trust that the trial Court would make an earnest endeavor to conclude the trial KUNAL DEWANGAN Digitally signed by KUNAL DEWANGAN 2 expeditiously in accordance with law, preferably within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of that order, if there was no legal impediment. 3. The learned Special Judge (NDPS Act), Bilaspur District- Bilaspur (C.G.) vide her request letter dated 02.03.2026 has requested for grant of six month time for concluding the trial. 4. It transpires from perusal of the PUD that, in the present case, the matter is fixed for prosecution evidence, however, due to non-appearance of witnesses, despite issuance of summons/bailable warrants through the Nodal OfÏcer (Deputy Superintendent of Police, Headquarters, Bilaspur), unnecessary delay is being caused in the proceedings. It is further reflected that the witnesses are not appearing in time and a large number of NDPS cases, including time-bound matters, are pending before the Court concerned, though efforts are being made for their expeditious disposal. Hence, an extension of six months’ time is required for final disposal of the case. 5. The request made by the learned trial Court, is allowed, however, instead of granting six months, this Court deems it appropriate to grant further 04 months time for concluding the trial from today. 6. Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 7. 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
