And In Re: Sanjoy Mandal @ Panchu @ Sanjay Mandal ... ... Petitioner Ms. Minoti Gomes ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury Mr. Mainak Gupta ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 205 days.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 85 gms. of Heroin, which is above commercial quantity from the possession of the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid fact and statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined in granting bail to the petitioner. The application for bail is thus rejected.
