BLAPL NO.9496 OF 2020
This is the second journey of the Petitioner who is in custody in connection with Podia P.S. Case No.11 of 2018 corresponding to T.R. Case No.26 of 2018 on the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Malkangiri for alleged commission of offence under section 20(b)(ii)(C) of the IPC, in filing this application under section 439 of the Cr.P.C. for his release on bail.
Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
Considering the submissions made, further keeping in view the quantity of contraband ganja said to have been seized from the vehicle in which the Petitioner was travelling as those emanates from the materials on record; as also the surrounding circumstances, I am not inclined to reconsider the prayer for grant of bail to the Petitioner. It is however observed that the trial court would do well to take all such effective steps as provided in law for early conclusion of the trial.
The BLAPL is accordingly dismissed. Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
