The petitioners are accused in a case registered under section 20-B of the N.D.P.S. Act. Perused the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that 20 k.g. of Ganja have been recovered from two bags from a bus. On the basis of the information of the bus conductor that the two bags belonged to the petitioners, they have been implicated in this case for carrying 10 k.g. of Ganja by each of them in their respective bags, which is less than the commercial quantity. It is also submitted that the petitioners have remained under judicial custody since 23.12.2008. It has been further stated that the petitioners 2 are having clean antecedents. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I direct both the abovenamed petitioners, Shashikant Srivastava and Rishikant Sharma, to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Sessions Judge, Madhubani in Laukaha Police Station Case No. 172/2008(G.R. No. 7/2008) with further condition that one of the bailors for each of the petitioners must be a local person, employed in a Government or Semi-Government concern, and the other should be the father of the respective petitioners. Further, if the petitioners would indulge in similar kind of offences in future, the court concerned will be at liberty to initiate a proceeding for cancellations of their bail bonds. It is also made clear that the petitioners should be well represented on each and every date during the course of the trial and if they would remain absent on two consecutive dates, the court concerned shall be at liberty to take suitable steps for cancellation of their bail bonds.
