Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

3.

The petitioner is in custody since 10.06.2019 in connection with Nandpur P.S. Case No. 30 of 2019 corresponding to T.R. Case No. 11 of 2019 pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Special Judge, Koraput for the alleged commission of offence under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/25/29 of NDPS Act.

4. Having regard to the submissions made, the materials on record, the period of detention already undergone and the fact that the co-accused persons have already been released on bail by order passed by this Court in BLAPL No. 10626 of 2019 and BLAPL No. 7357 of 2021, I find no justified reason to treat the petitioner differently than them. The bail application is therefore allowed. 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.

5. The BLAPl is accordingly disposed of.
