Akhilananda Mishra v. State of Odisha
Case brief
What is this about?
Odisha High Court rejects NDPS bail; BLAPL No.509 of 2026; S.483 BNSS bail application; S.20(b)(ii)(C) NDPS Act; 60 Kgs contraband ganja above commercial quantity; failure to satisfy Sec. 37 NDPS Act conditions; Maruti Swift Dzire Car without Registration Number; PR No. 134 of 2025-26; TR No.26 of 2025; Additional District Judge-cum-Special Judge, Rairakhol, Dist-Sambalpur; petitioner Akhilananda Mishra; Justice G. Satapathy; order dated 10.03.2026; bail application rejected and disposed of.
What did the court decide?
Bail refused: the recovery and seizure of 60 Kgs of contraband ganja is well above the commercial quantity, and the petitioner failed to satisfy the conditions of Sec. 37 of the NDPS Act; the Court was therefore not inclined to grant bail. ¶¶18
