ORDER

23.09.2022 08.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 439 of Cr.P.C. in connection with T.R. Case No.88 of 2020 arising out of Mudulipada P.S. Case No.23 of 2020 pending in the Court of learned Sessions Judge -cumSpecial Judge, Malkangiri for alleged commission of offences punishable under sections 20(b)(ii)(C) of the N.D.P.S. Act.

The petitioner moved an application for bail before the Court of learned Special Judge, Malkangiri which was rejected on 03.01.2022.

// 2 // Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he has no instruction in the matter.

The report of the learned Special Judge, Malkangiri indicates that the petitioner has not surrendered for which N.B.W.(A) has been issued against him and notices to the bailors were issued. Since the petitioner has flouted the terms and conditions of the interim order dated 22.04.2022 passed in I.A. No.27 of 2022, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail.

Accordingly, the BLAPL stands dismissed.

A free copy of this order be handed over to the learned counsel for the State.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.

( S.K. Sahoo) Judge RKM
