Cr. Misc. No.M-15726 of 2017 [2] Assistant Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondent-State and have gone through the record.

Learned State counsel has brought it to my notice that the case is fixed for defence evidence. As the trial is already complete and further the first bail petition has already been dismissed by this Court by a speaking order that the recovery falls in the commercial quantity and Section 37 of the NDPS Act bars the benefit of bail to the accused in case of commercial quantity, therefore, I find no ground to release the petitioner on bail. Finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed. May 24, 2017.
