The petitioner has filed the instant application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Swarupnagar Police Station Case No. 310 of 2020 under Section 21(C) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. 5.3 litres of codeine mixture were shown to have been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. The charge-sheet has been submitted after obtaining the Chemical Examination Report. In view of the recovery of the contraband, which was above the commercial quantity, we do not find that the petitioner has been able to make out any case for taking exception to Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The application for bail, being CRM 2398 of 2021, is thus

rejected.

However, the learned Judge under NDPS Act is requested to expedite the matter.
