And In Re: Prahalad Haldar ... ... Petitioner Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. Shashanka Shekhar Saha ... ... for the petitioner Ms. Subhasree Patel ... ... for the State

1. Chemical examiner's report is placed on record. Report shows presence of codeine phosphate in the sample.

2. Materials on record prima facie establish recovery of narcotics i.e. 64 bottles of phensedyl syrup containing codeine phosphate, which is above commercial quantity from the petitioner and co-accused. 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.

3. The application for bail is thus rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) Signed By : ARUP KUMAR DAS High Court of Calcutta 15 th of April 2024 03:41:19 PM
