PUNION KI BASTI, P. S. BARMER SADAR, DIST. BARMER (RAJASTHAN). VERSUS THE STATE OF ASSAM REP. BY PP, ASSAM. Advocate for the Petitioner : MR. A TALUKDAR Advocate for the Respondent : PP, ASSAM BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJIT BORTHAKUR ORDER Date : 04-12-2020 Heard Mr. S. Munir, learned counsel for the petitioner. Also Heard Ms. S. H. Bora, learned Addl. P. P. , Assam appearing for the State respondent. By this petition under Section 439 Cr. P. C. , the petitioner, namely Pankaj Sarmah has prayed for grant of bail in connection with Guwahati G. R. P. S. Case No. 65/2020 u/s 17(b)/29 of the NDPS Act. Page No. # 2/2 The case diary, as called for, is placed before the Court. Perusal of the case diary reveals prima facie incriminating material against the accused petitioner.
However, considering the length of detention (58 days since 07. 10. 2020), this Court finds that further continuation of detention of the accused petitioner may not be necessary in the interest of investigation in the case. Therefore, it is provided that the accused/petitioner, named above, shall be released on bail of Rs.
50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge (NDPS Act), Kamrup (M), subject to the following conditions-i) That the accused/petitioner shall cooperate with the Investigating Officer as and when required; ii) That the accused/petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Police Officer or the Court; iii) That the accused/petitioner and his bailor shall produce the original Voter Identity Card/Passport/Permanent Residential Certificate, whatever is available at the time of submission of the bail bond for satisfaction of the learned Court below regarding their identity and address and then return the same retaining photocopy thereof on record.
iv) That the accused/petitioner shall refrain from committing any similar offences in future of which he is accused or suspected of commission. Return the case diary. This disposes off the bail application. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
