Cr. Misc. No.M-48567 of 2018 [2] counsel and have gone through the record.

A perusal of the record shows that 300 grams of intoxicant powder containing salt Alprazolam was recovered from the petitioner which falls in commercial quantity. Therefore, bar of Section 37 of the NDPS Act will apply in this case.

Keeping in view the above facts, no ground is made out for grant of bail to the petitioner. Hence, I do not find any merit in this petition and the same is dismissed.
