Mr. Sumanta Das.

...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Antarikhya Basu.

...for the State.

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. 22.6 kgs. of ganja from the possession of the petitioners. 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 petitioners.

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