Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record.

Statements of witnesses and contemporaneous document show recovery of narcotics above commercial quantity i.e. 23.2 kgs. of ganja from the joint possession of the petitioner and co-accused.

Under such circumstances and in view of statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

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