4. It is alleged that the Petitioner had financed the other accused persons in procuring and selling contraband ganja. It appears that except for the statement of the co-accused persons, there is no other material to implicate the Petitioner in the occurrence. Even otherwise, nothing was seized from his possession and he has been arrested only on the ground that he is the financer.

5. Considering the above facts and the period of detention of the Petitioner in custody, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the Petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the court in seisin over the matter in the aforesaid case including the condition that he shall appear before the court below on each date of posting of the case and in case of even a single default, necessary orders shall be passed by the court to take him to custody again. Further, he shall also appear before the I.I.C. of Mathili P.S. on every Sunday at 10 A.M. till conclusion of trial and such fact shall be certified by the I.I.C. to the concerned Court once in a month.

6. The BLAPL is disposed of.

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