1. This is a bail application U/S.483 of the BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Bolangir Town PS Case No.799 of 2025 corresponding to Spl. GR Case No. 37 of 2025 pending in the Court of learned Special Judge-Cum-Sessions Judge, Balangir for commission of offence punishable U/S.20(b)(ii)(C) of the NDPS Act, on the main allegation of transporting 24Kgs of Contraband Ganja in one Car bearing Registration No. CG-04-LU-0011.
2. Heard, Mr. Bikash Chandra Parija, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. C. Mahanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. On being queried about the criminal antecedent of the petitioners, Mr. Parija volunteers to withhold bail to the petitioners, if he/they is/are found to have any criminal antecedent of similar nature for commission of offence under NDPS Act.
3. Admittedly, the petitioners were taken into custody on 20.12.2025, but in the meantime, charge sheet has already been submitted, however, the trial is yet to commence and there are 17 charge sheeted witnesses and, therefore, the trial would take some more time. Further, it is claimed that the petitioners are not having any criminal antecedent. In the peculiar facts and circumstance of the case and on consideration of material placed on record together with the claim of the Petitioners for not having any criminal antecedent of similar nature, the petitioners would be considered to have satisfied the conditions of Sec.37 of NDPS Act, if they are not having any criminal antecedent for commission of offence under NDPS Act.
4. For the reason stated hereinabove and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety, this Court without expressing any view on merit admits the petitioners to bail, but subject to verification of their criminal antecedent.
5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stands allowed and they are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it.
In view of the specific submission as advanced for the petitioners, the benefit of this order shall not be extended to the concerned petitioner(s), if he/they is/are found to have any criminal antecedent for commission of offence under NDPS Act.
6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference.
