The petitioners are in custody since 21.03.2021 in connection with Markatnagar Phase-I P.S. Case No. 51 of 2021 corresponding to G.R.(Spl.) Case No. 10 of 2021 of the Court of learned Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Cuttack for the alleged commission of offence under Sections 20(b) of NDPS Act, 1985.
4.
The allegation is that on 21.3.2021 at about 10.00 A.M. the petitioner was apprehended by the police staff and 110 grams of brown-sugar was seized from his possession. 5.
Having regard to the submissions made, the materials on record, the period of detention already undergone and the fact that the seized contraband is less than commercial quantity, being 110 grams of brown-sugar, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail.
6.
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 trial Court on each date of posting of the case without fail.
