Heard Mr. D. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. S.R. Sahoo, learned ASC in the present matter and perused the record.

After having considered the rival submissions made and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of accusations raised against the petitioner and keeping in view the manner and circumstance of implication of the petitioner in this case and regard being had to the pre trial detention of the petitioner since 30.12.2022 with submission of charge-sheet and further, taking into account the other circumstance on record in entirety including no criminal antecedent being reported against the petitioner, this Court admits the petitioner to bail.

Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.1,00,000/-(Rupees One Lakh) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it with following conditions:-

It is clarified that the Court in seisin of the case will be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner without further reference to this Court, if any of the above conditions are violated or a case for cancellation of bail is otherwise made out. In the wake of aforesaid, the subsequent involvement of the petitioner in future any offence under NDPS Act on prima facie accusations may be treated as a ground for cancellation of bail in this case.

Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
