This application has been filed under section 483 of BNSS, 2023 praying for release of the petitioner on bail in connection with Mariani P.S Case No. Page No.# 2/3 51/2025 u/s 21(a)22(C), 27, 27(a), 29 of the NDPS Act, 1985. The petitioner is in custody since 29.04.2025. The learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to the FIR dated 16.04.2025 by which some amount of contraband have been recovered from the premises of one Shankar Saikia. Thereafter, petitioner herein was arrested on 29.04.2025 and in forwarding the report to the I.O has stated that the petitioner was seen by the public to be escaping with one Shankar Saikia when some other person were seen to be consuming contraband items. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that by the order dated 25.06.2025 the said Shankar Saikia and also by the order dated 13.08.2025, the person who was seen along with the petitioner when they were escaping had been granted the privilege of bail. He thus prays that the petitioner, from whom no contraband has been seized and who has already been arrested on the basis of the suspicion may be allowed the privilege of bail. The learned Addl. P.P has objected to the prayer for granting of bail. He has however submitted that as per the instruction, the charge-sheet has not yet been submitted till now. We have gone through the contents of the petition and also the record available. In the circumstances involved, we deem fit it proper to grant the petitioner the privilege of bail in connection with the aforesaid case. The petitioner shall be released on bail by executing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with two local surety of like amount to the satisfaction of learned Trial Court concerned subject to the following conditions that the petitioner; i) shall co-operate with the remaining investigation ii) shall not hamper or tamper with the evidence. In case of violation of breach of any condition(s), the Public Prosecutor Page No.# 3/3 would be at liberty to move an application for cancellation of the bail. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
