Page No.# 2/3 Case No.33/2024 under Sections 21(b)/29 of the NDPS Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested for recovery of intermediate quantity of narcotics drugs from his possession and he has been in judicial custody for 57 days since he was arrested on 06.03.2024. As such, considering length of detention, bail may be considered. The learned Addl.P.P. has produced the case diary without the FSL report. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the case diary and the averments made in this petition, it appears that the petitioner is in judicial custody for 57 days today and as such, considering length of detention, this Court is of the considered opinion that further detention of the petitioner in the interest of investigation is not warranted. Accordingly, it is provided that the petitioner named above shall be released on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge (NDPS Act) Kamrup (R) Amingaon, subject to the following conditions;-
