This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Excise District Mobile Unit, Khurda PR Case No.83 of 2023-24 corresponding to T.R. Case No. 116 of 2023 pending in the file of learned 2nd Addl. Sessions Judge, Khurda, for commission of offences punishable U/S.21(b) of the NDPS Act.

Heard, Mr. Jyotirmaya Sahoo, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.
3.
Admittedly, this is a bail jump case, but the petitioner was taken into custody on 14.05.2026 on the strength of an NBWA issued on 08.04.2026 and, thereby, the petitioner must have felt the rigor of law by remaining in custody for flouting the order of the Court. In the aforesaid premises, this Court by taking a lenient view, admits the petitioner to bail.
4.
Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and he is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty p. 2 Thousand) only with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it with following conditions:- (i) the petitioner in the course of trial shall attend the trial Court on each date of posting without fail unless his attendance are dispensed with. (ii) In case the Petitioner fails without sufficient cause to appear in the Court in accordance with the terms of the bail, the learned trial Court may proceed against the Petitioner for offence U/S.269 of BNS, 2023 in accordance with law.
5.
Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference.
