02.
1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with R. Udayagiri PS Case No.93 of 2024 corresponding to GR Case No.61 of 2024 pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Paralakhemundi, Dist-Gajapati for commission of offences punishable U/Ss.20(b)(ii)(C)/ 25/ 29 of the NDPS Act, on the allegation of transporting 94 Kgs and 200 Grams of Contraband Ganja kept in three jari bags in a Maruti Baleno Car bearing Registration No.OD-03-L-0114.
3. Heard, Mrs. Ranjita Singh, learned counsel for the Petitioner and Mr. C. Mahanty, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record.
4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into account the nature and gravity of offences as alleged against the petitioner vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against him and regard being had to
the recovery and seizure of 94 Kgs and 200 Grams of Contraband Ganja, which is coming under commercial quantity from the vehicle allegedly in possession of the Petitioner and his consequent failure of the Petitioner to satisfy the conditions of Sec. 37 of NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. In view of the alternative oral prayer as advanced for the Petitioner, trial be expedited, if there is no other legal impediment.
6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the learned trial Court.
