Dash, Advocate (in BLAPL No.10568 of 2025) Mr. R. Achary, Advocate (in BLAPL No.11656 of 2025) -versus- State of Odisha … Opposite Party Mr. P. Satpathy, Addl. PP CORAM: JUSTICE G. SATAPATHY Order No. ORDER(ORAL) 02.12.2025 02. 1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. Since these two bail applications arise out of one and same case record, the same are taken up together and disposed of by this common order with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. 3. These are the bail applications U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Rayagada PS Case No.85 of 2025 corresponding to TR Case No.11 of 2025 pending in the file of learned District and Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Rayagada, for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.20(b)(ii)(C)/25/27-A/29 of NDPS Act r/w Section p. 2 25 of Arms Act, on the main allegation of possessing 657Kgs of Contraband Ganja. 4. Heard, Mr. Santosh Kumar Dash, learned counsel for the petitioner in BLAPL No.10568 of 2025; Mr. Ramdas Achary, learned counsel for the petitioner in BLAPL No.11656 of 2025 and Mr. P. Satpathy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. 5. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into account the nature and gravity of offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the allegation sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the seizure of 657Kgs of Contraband Ganja, which is much more than commercial quantity allegedly from the possession of the petitioners and their consequent failure to satisfy the conditions of Section 37 of NDPS Act, which is sine qua non for grant of bail for offence under NDPS Act involving commercial quantity, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to any of the petitioners. 6. Hence, the bail applications of the petitioners Ranjit Karakaria and Arnana Binod Kumar @ Naga @ A. Binod Kumar stand rejected. Accordingly, BLAPL Nos.10568 & 11656 of 2025 stand disposed of. (G.
