1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).

2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Tikabali PS Case No.32 of 2024 corresponding to CT Case No.64 of 2024 pending in the Court of learned Additional District & Sessions Judge, Baliguda, for commission of offence punishable U/Ss.20(b)(ii)(C) of the NDPS Act, on the main allegation of transporting 80Kgs of Contraband Ganja in a Maruti Suzuki EECO car bearing Regd. No.UP-78-CC-9207.

3. Heard, Mr.Priyanshu Panda, learned proxy counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. Amit Biswal, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. P.Satapathy, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record.

4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the recovery and seizure of 80Kgs. of Contraband Ganja which is definitely coming under commercial quantity from the vehicle allegedly in occupation of the petitioners with the petitioner-Gurmit Singh having a criminal antecedent of similar nature and the consequent failure of the petitioners to satisfy the conditions of Sec. 37 of NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. On the alternative prayer advanced for the petitioner, trial be expedited, if there is no other legal impediment. A copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the learned Court in seisin over the matter.

(G. Satapathy)
