And In Re: Bandhan Mondal @ Bandan Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh Ms. Puja Mondal ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Arun Kumar Maiti Ms. Tanushree Ghosh ... ... for the NCB

1. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. over 600 kgs. of Ganja, which is above commercial quantity from a truck. Petitioner was present in the truck. In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials and 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 04:04:13 PM
