Mr. Soujanya Bandyopadyay.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saryati Datta.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for one year. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. We have considered the materials on record. 300 bottles of phensedyl syrup containing codeine phosphate was recovered from the petitioner.

Under such circumstances and in view of the statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
