The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner along with the co-accused persons were involved in sale of brown sugar and 24.3 grams of brown sugar was recovered from their possession out of which 12.44 grams of brown sugar was recovered from the petitioner. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the brown sugar seized is of intermediate quantity. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 15.01.2026, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the co-accused person has already been admitted to bail by a coordinate bench of this Court vide order dated 17.03.2026 in B.A. No. 2047 of 2026. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not indulge in any offence while on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Principal Judicial Commissioner-cum- Special Judge (NDPS), Ranchi, in connection with Gonda P.S.
