Since the Customs Act is not in the picture as far as this case is concerned, all the authorities relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner has no relevance for consideration by this Court - Be that as it may, on a general appraisal of the facts and circumstances of this case, and looking into the nature and gravity of the alleged offence, this Court is of the considered opinion that the accused person can be enlarged on bail provided he fulfills certain conditions to be imposed by this Court. This Court is inclined to allow this petition and to direct release of the accused person Shri. Sadeep Kumar Sunar on bail on the conditions imposed - bail application allowed.
