... Petitioner.

Ms. Minoti Gomes.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saryati Datta.

...for the State.

It is submitted no narcotics was recovered from his possession. Co-accused is on bail. He is in custody for about two years. He prays for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer.

We have considered the materials on record. Seizure memorandum show recovery was made from the joint possession of the petitioner and co-accused.

Under such circumstances, it cannot be said no recovery was made from the petitioner.

Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

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