Learned advocate for the State opuses the prayer for bail.

I have taken into account the period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that there is no possibility of the trial being concluded in the near future.

Having considered the same, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.

Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Madhu Rohidas @ Madhu Ruhi Das shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Judge, Special Court (NDPS Act), Howrah. If on bail, the petitioner shall also make herself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned Special court/trial court and shall not leave the district of Howrah without prior permission of the learned Special Court/trial court.
