03. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with S.A. Case No.1 of 2025 pending on the file of learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Nuapada, arising out of P.R. Case No.113 of 2024-25 for commission of offences punishable under Section 43 of NDPS Act.
3. It is submitted by the learned counsel, on instruction, that though the Petitioner was cited as an accused in Special Act Case No.73 of 2022 vide judgment dated 26.02.2024.
Referring to the same, it is further submitted by the learned counsel that the Petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case at hand on account of the co-accused statement and during the disposal of the earlier bail application vide order dated 30.01.2025 since such material could not be placed before this Court.
It is also stated that the earlier rejection ought not to weigh with this Court in considering the prayer of the Petitioner on merits.
4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
5. Admittedly, in the case at hand the allegation against the Petitioner is based on co-accused statement that he is involved in the transportation of contraband to the tune of 7kg.
6. Taking into account the nature of allegations and the progress in investigation, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper.
7. Additionally, it is directed that the Petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional Police Station once a week on such date and time to be fixed by the learned Court in seisin till submission of final PR. Certification of such appearance shall be submitted to the learned Court in seisin.
If, in the meanwhile, final PR has been submitted, he shall appear before the jurisdictional Court as and when summoned.
8. It is needless to state that the Petitioner shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
9. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
