     S.B. CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION NO. 6055/2009.
             Chautha Ram      Vs.    The State of Rajasthan


     Date of Order :: 15th December 2009.

           HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI

     None present for the petitioner.
     Mr. Mahipal Bishnoi, Public Prosecutor.
                                    ...

     BY THE COURT:

This bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C., filed

way back on 22.06.2009, remained lying in defects for long

and the defects were removed only on 16.11.2009. This bail

application was, thereafter, registered and came up before the

Court on 19.11.2009; and nobody appeared for the petitioner

though the matter was called out twice over. However, the

matter was adjourned to this date.

Today also, the matter has been called out twice over

but nobody has chosen to appear for the petitioner.

It appears that the petitioner has already lost interest in

prosecuting this bail application any further. This bail

application was filed way back in the month of June 2009 with

reference to the order dated 18.04.2009 as passed by the

learned Sessions Judge, Churu; and the matter relates to the

offence under Section 8/18 of the Narcotic Drugs and
2

Psychotropic Substances Act with the allegation of recovery of

about 5 kilograms of opium from the possession of petitioner.

It is also noticed that in the month of May 2009, two

prosecution witnesses had already been examined in the trial.

There appears no reason or justification to keep this bail

application pending any further.

When there appears no justification to keep this bail

application pending any further and nobody has chosen to

appear for the petitioner, in the totality of the circumstances,

this bail application stands rejected but with the observation

that this rejection shall not otherwise be not of any impediment

for the petitioner to apply for bail afresh, if so advised; of

course, in accordance with law.

(DINESH MAHESHWARI), J.
