BY OFFICER IN CHARGE, CALANGUTE POLICE STATION,GOA) ... Respondent Mr. J.P. D'Souza, advocate for the applicant. Mr. C.A. Ferreira, Public Prosecutor for the Respondent. Coram:- A. P. LAVANDE, J. Date:- 24th March, 2011 P.C: Heard Mr. D'Souza, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. Ferreira, learned Public Prosecutor for the respondent. 2. Aggrieved by the condition of bail imposed by the N.D.P.S Court, the applicant who is facing trial before the N.D.P.S Court, Mapusa for the offence punishable under Section 21( c ) of the N.D.P.S Act has approached this Court. 3. By order dated 4/3/2011, the learned Special Judge, N.D.P.S Court, Mapusa has granted bail to the applicant on several terms and conditions. The applicant is aggrieved by the following condition: (a) The accused shall execute personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,00,000/- with two solvent local sureties each in the like amount. 4. According to Mr. D'Souza the bond amount fixed by the N.D.P.S Court is highly excessive and onerous and the applicant is not in a position to furnish sureties in the said amount and therefore the bond amount deserves to be reduced. 5. Mr. Ferreira, learned Public Prosecutor submits that a reasonable bail bond amount be fixed. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered opinion that the amount of Rs.1,00,000/- fixed by the N.D.P.S Court is much on the higher side. The accused/applicant therefore shall execute a bond of Rs.1,00,000/- with one local surety in the like amount or two local sureties in the amount of Rs.50,000/- each. All the rest of the conditions are maintained. 7. In view of the above, the order dated 4/3/2011 passed by the N.D.P.S Court stands modified accordingly. 8. The application stands disposed of. A. P. LAVANDE, J. ap/-
