ORDER:
“ This petition is filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, who is A5 in Crime No.41 of 2017 on the file of the Prohibition & Excise Station, Vizianagaram-I, Vizianagaram District.
2. The offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 8 (C) r/w 20 (b) (ii) (c) of N.D.P.S. Act. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that absolutely, there are no allegations against the petitioner. He took this Court to the mediator’s report and also report of the complainant. Except in the concluding para, there is no mention about the petitioner-A5 at all. Therefore, it is a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, in spite of the fact that the quantity of contraband (ganja) is 28 KGs. Prima facie, this Court finds there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused is not guilty.
5. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, Prohibition & Excise Station, Vizianagaram-I, Vizianagaram District, within 15 days from the date of this order. On such surrender, the petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand only) with two sureties in a like sum each to the satisfaction of the said Station House Officer. Further, on such release, the petitioner shall abide by the conditions mentioned under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C., as under:
i) The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required.
ii) The petitioner shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer;
iii) The petitioner shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court.
