31.03.2023 Sl. No.9 akd [Rejected] C. R. M. (NDPS) 604 of 2023 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 28.03.2023 in connection with Jalangi Police Station Case No.270 of 2022 dated 22.08.2022 under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/29 of the NDPS Act. (NDPS Case No. 187 of 2022) And In Re: Mainul Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Sumanta Das Ms. Shabana Hasin Mr. Manas Kumar Das Mr. Aritra Thakdar ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Saryati Datta ... ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 21.5 kgs. of Ganja, which is above commercial quantity 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. The application for bail is thus rejected.
