Dated this the 22nd day of August 2007
O R D E R
Application for regular bail. The petitioner faces
allegations under the N.D.P.S.Act. He remains in custody from
6/6/2007. An earlier application for regular bail was dismissed
by this court as per order dated 27/6/2007 in B.A.No.3828/07. I
have adverted to facts in detail of that order. This order is to be
read in continuation of that order. I am not hence adverting to
facts in greater detail in this order.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner prays, the
learned Public Prosecutor does not seriously oppose the said
prayer on condition that the investigating officer is granted
reasonable further time to complete the investigation and I am
satisfied that regular bail can be granted to the petitioner
subject to appropriate conditions.
3. In the result, this petition is allowed. The petitioner
shall be released on bail on the following terms and conditions:
B.A.No.5140/07 2
i) The petitioner shall not be released on bail on the
strength of this order prior to 25/08/2007. The investigating
officer shall, in the meantime, make every endeavour to
complete the investigation.
ii) He shall execute a bond for Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees two
lakhs only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the
satisfaction of the learned Magistrate.
iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for
interrogation before the investigating officer between 10 a.m
and 12 noon on all Mondays for a period of three months and
thereafter as and when directed by the investigating officer in
writing to do so.
