Notice of motion.

Mr.Pawan Sharda, Sr. DAG, Punjab, has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent-State and contested the petition. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. As per prosecution version,1795 tablets having total weight of 225 grams containing salt 'Alprazolam' were recovered from the present petitioner. As per the allegations, he was possessing these tablets without any permit/licence. The recovery from the present petitioner falls under VINEET GULATI 2018.08.07 10:47 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRM No.M-22448 of 2018 -2commercial quantity. Section 37 of the NDPS Act bars the grant of bail to the accused in case commercial quantity.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case and in view of the heavy recovery from the present petitioner, I do not find it a fit case, where petitioner is entitled to benefit of regular bail. Therefore, finding no merit in the present petition, the same is dismissed.
