Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Swapan Banerjee, Mr. Suman De ...for the State.

Commercial quantity of contraband items has been seized from the possession of the petitioner. In view of the statutory restriction in Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, we are not inclined to entertain the petitioner's prayer for bail.

The petitioner says that he is in custody for about 1 year and 6 months. Charge-sheet has been submitted. In view of the lengthy detention of the petitioner, we request the learned trial Court to expedite the consideration of charges and bring the trial to its logical conclusion as soon as the business of the Court may permit.

Accordingly, the application for bail being C.R.M. 4064 of 2021 is dismissed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of this order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Arijit Banerjee, J.)
