02.
1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Sadar PS Case No.104 of 2025 corresponding to Spl. GR Case No.48/21 of 2025 pending in the file of learned Addl. District Judge, Sundargarh for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.20(b)(ii)(C)/25/29 of the NDPS Act, on the main allegation of transporting 127Kgs and 950Grams of Contraband Ganja in a white colour Maruti Ertiga Car bearing Regd. No.OD-23-K-4343.
3. Heard, Mr. Swaraj Patel, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record.
4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusation sought to be brought against them and p. 2 regard being had to the recovery and seizure of 127Kgs and 950Grams of contraband ganja, which is well above the commercial quantity from the vehicle allegedly in occupation of the petitioners and their consequent failure to satisfy the conditions of Sec.37 of NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands
disposed of. A soft copy of the order be immediately communicated to the learned trial Court.
