Judgment:


1. Rule. Mr. Dabhi, learned APP, waives service of Rule on behalf of the respondent State of Gujarat.

2. Having regard to the facts of the case, this application is taken up for hearing today.

3. The applicant convict-prisoner who vide judgement and order dated 30.6.2007 rendered in N.D.P.S. Case No. 2 of 2005 by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Surat, has been convicted for the offences under Section 20(b) and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for 10 years for both the aforesaid offences, has filed this Criminal Miscellaneous Application praying for suspension of sentence and to release him on bail during the pendency and final hearing of the above numbered Criminal Appeal.

4. We have considered the submissions advanced by Ms. Sadhana Sagar for the applicant and Mr. Dabhi, learned APP for the respondent State of Gujarat. We have also perused the averments made in the application so also the impugned judgement and order and the evidence.

5. It may be noted that this being successive bail application, no ground is made out to persuade us to reconsider the prayer for bail. The contention that the applicant has undergone more than 50% of the tenure of the total imprisonment is no ground to release the applicant on bail. It is also required to be noted that the above numbered Criminal Appeal is listed for final hearing. In view of this, we are not inclined to suspend the sentence and release the applicant on bail during the pendency and final hearing of the above numbered Criminal Appeal.

6. Seen in the above, the application lacks merit and it deserves to be rejected. The application is rejected accordingly.

7. Rule is discharged.
