The alleged offence is under Section 20 (b) (ii) B of NDPS Act. According to prosecution, petitioner along with first accused were found in possession of 2.070 kgs of ganja on 16.06.2010 and they were arrested from the spot. 3. Petitioner is in custody for the past 61 days. The charge sheet is not laid. The quantity involved is intermediate quantity and the punishment is up to 10 years. Therefore, petitioner is entitled for bail on default. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that petitioner is involved in two other cases and trial is going on. Since charge sheet is not laid so far, he has no objection in granting bail, but stringent conditions may be imposed, since he is likely to abscond, it is submitted. 4. On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that bail can be granted to petitioner on conditions. Hence the following order is passed: B.A. No. 4854 / 2010 2 Petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Magistrate Court concerned on the following conditions: i) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every alternate day, between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M. ii) In case, petitioner is involved in any similar offence, his bail is liable to be cancelled.
