                                            Versus
                                  THE UNION OF INDIA
                                          -----------

3 18/08/2010 Heard Mr. Rudal Singh learned counsel for the

petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the

Union of India.

Earlier prayer for bail of the petitioner was rejected

vide order dated 12.1.2010 passed in Cr. Misc. No.21139 of

2009 considering the allegation that he is accused in a case

registered under Sections 20, 22, 23 and 25 of the Narcotic

Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act on the allegation that

he was found in possession of 3 Kgs. of Charas.

Report received from the learned trial court shows

that six out of nine witnesses have been examined and the

Public Prosecutor was requested to produce remaining

witnesses.

Considering the allegation, I find no reason to take a

different view from the earlier. Accordingly, prayer for bail of

the petitioner is again rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the

trial and conclude the trial preferably within one year from the

date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
