1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Gochhapada PS Case No. 49 of 2024 arising out of CT(N) Case No.74 of 2024 pending in the Court of learned Sessions-cum-Special Judge, Kandhamal, Phulbani for commission of offences punishable U/S.20(b)(ii)(C) of the NDPS Act, on the main allegation of possessing and attempting to transport 220 kgs of Contraband Ganja by using a Motorcycle bearing Registration No. OD-15M-
1887.
3. Heard, Mr. Dibyajyoti Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. R.B. Mishra, learned Additional Public Prosecutor 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 petitioner vis-a-vis the p. 2 accusations sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the alleged recovery and seizure of such a huge quantity of contraband Ganja to the tune of 220 Kgs, which is well above the commercial quantity allegedly from the possession of the petitioner and his consequent failure to satisfy the conditions of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to either of the petitioner.
Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
5. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules.
(G. Satapathy)
