Having regard to the fact that no contraband was seized from the possession of the petitioner and he was arrested only on the basis of the statement of the co-accused as also the fact that the coaccused persons from whom the seizure was allegedly made, have already been released on bail as per order passed by this Court in BLAPL No.8577 of 2021, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions

as the court in seisin over the matter may deem fit and proper to impose including the condition that he shall personally appear before the court in seisin over the matter on each date of posting of the case, failing which NBW shall be issued to take into custody again.
