It appears from the record that nothing was seized from the petitioner and there was no material showing that the petitioner had made any conversation with the other co-accused persons. No money trail was found. The petitioner is in custody for more than one year five months. 2. I have found that the petitioner has been able to rebut his statutory presumption under Section 37 of the NDPS Act. 3. Accordingly, the application for bail of the petitioner namely, Hare Krishna Roy is, thus, allowed. 4. I direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be a 2 local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court, NDPS Act, Nadia at Krishnanagar.

The petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight until further order and shall not leave the jurisdiction of the concerned police station without prior permission of the learned Trial Court, except for the purpose of attending Court. 5. In the event, the petitioner fails to comply with any of the conditions as stated above, the learned Trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. 6. Thus, the application for bail being C.R.M. (NDPS) 1171 of 2026 stands disposed of. 7.
