( 2 ) CRM-M-20879-2021 will take time for termination of the trial. The strict provisions of Section 37(1)(b) of NDPS Act are not applicable to the case in hand. So no purpose is going to be served by keeping the petitioner in custody for any longer period. Thus without commenting on the merits of the case, the petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail and surety bonds to the satisfaction of the CJM/Duty Magistrate concerned.
