01.
This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).
Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and
learned counsel for the State.
This is an application under section 483 of B.N.S.S. in connection with Angul P.S. Case No.673 of 2025 corresponding to C.T. (NDPS) Case No.19 of 2025 pending in the Court of learned Special Judge, Angul for alleged commission of offences under sections 21(b)/29 of the N.D.P.S. Act. The petitioners moved an application for bail before the Court of learned Special Judge, Angul, which was rejected on 07.08.2025. Considering the submission made by the learned
counsel for the petitioners that the petitioner no.1 is the son of petitioners nos.2 and 3 and they are in judicial custody since 26.07.2025 and the quantity of brown sugar stated to have been seized from the possession of the petitioners is 18.01 mg., which is lesser than the commercial quantity and therefore, bar under section 37 of the N.D.P.S. Act is not applicable and the investigation has made substantial progress and after hearing the
learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on bail.
Let the petitioners be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a bail bond of Rs.50,000/- (rupees fifty thousand) each with two local solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin over the matter with further conditions as the learned Court may deem just and proper including the conditions that the petitioners shall appear before the learned trial Court on each date to which the case is posted for trial, shall not indulge in any criminal activities in any manner and shall not try to tamper with the prosecution evidence.
Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.
Accordingly, the BLAPL is disposed of.
Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
