Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor (for brevity, APP ) appearing for the State of Bihar.

¶11

It is the third bail application, filed on behalf of the petitioner. The first was rejected on 02.03.2021 in Cr Misc No 37880 of 2020. Thereafter, the petitioner had approached this Court for grant of bail without renewing the same before the

learned Additional Sessions Judge -cum- Special Judge, Buxar. Accordingly, the application was disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to move the Court below, vide order dated 22.12.2021 passed in Cr Misc No 69719 of 2021.

¶14

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the trial has not concluded in spite of the fact that only one official witness has remained to be examined at the trial. Petitioner has remained in custody since 15.05.2020.

¶15

Learned APP has submitted that since the trial is on the verge of conclusion, instead of grant of bail to the petitioner having regard to the allegation of recovery of commercial quantity of Ganja , this Court may direct the Court concerned to conclude the trial expeditiously.

¶16

Having considered the rival submissions and with reference to the bar contained in Section 37 of the NDPS Act, keeping in the background the quantum of recovery being commercial quantity, this Court is of the view that interest of justice would serve by directing the Court concerned to conclude the trial expeditiously, without any unnecessary adjournment or undue delay.

¶17

Prayer for bail is again rejected.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is expected to
