Mr.Pradeep Panwar, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.63 dated 04.08.2015 under Section 15 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station Maloud, District Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that poppy husk has been recovered from the present petitioner, the quantity of which falls under commercial quantity. Section 37 of the NDPS Act bars the grant of bail to the accused in the case of commercial quantity.

Therefore, finding no merit in the present case the same is dismissed. However, as the petitioner is in custody since 04.08.2015, therefore, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial by giving short Vineet Gulati 2017.02.01 15:56 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh adjournments and if required, even day to day adjournments.
