What is this about?
Chandrakant Subash Patil v. State of Odisha, BLAPL No. 2923 of 2024, High Court of Orissa at Cuttack, decided 21.01.2025 by Justice Sashikanta Mishra. Bail under Sections 20(b)(ii)(C)/29 NDPS Act (Jeypore Sadar Case No. 100 of 2021 / T.R. Case No. 40 of 2021, Special Judge NDPS, Jeypore) sought on ground of delay in trial after two earlier merit-based rejections; application rejected, trial directed to be concluded preferably within three months, with liberty to renew the bail prayer if not so concluded.
What did the court decide?
Bail application rejected: the petitioner's prayer for bail having been rejected twice earlier on merits, the Court found no reason to take a different view at this stage, particularly as trial is in progress. ¶21
