In the matter of : Laxman Mondal.

... Petitioner.

Mr. Tapandeb Nandy, Sk. Salim.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Antarikhya Basu.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the parties.

We have considered the materials on record which prima facie discloses recovery of narcotic substance above commercial quantity i.e. 25 kgs. of ganja from the possession of the petitioner.

Under such circumstances and in view of the statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the N. D. P. S. Act, we are of the opinion that this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
