3.

A perusal of the material on record no way discloses non-application of Section 37 of the Act for not able to show the twin conditions of reasonable grounds to believe that the accused is not likely to be convicted and he is not likely to commit any offence while on bail, which are the conditions cumulative and needless to say, not alternative. 4.

Hence, this petition is dismissed without prejudice to the defence. It is needless to say, as per the directions of the Apex

Court in Thana Singh v. Central Bureau of Narcotics1 to speed up the trial of the case by the trial Court.

5.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any shall stand closed.
