Raju Ghosh @ Raj v. State Of West Bengal

20.12.2021 Sl. No.126 akd [Rejected] C. R. M. 8263 of 2021 [via video conferencing] In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 01.12.2021 in connection with Ashoknagar Police Station Case No. 369 of 2020 dated 31.05.2020 under Sections 21/29 of the NDPS Act.

And In Re: Raju Ghosh @ Raj ... ... Petitioner Mr. Shashanka Shekhar Saha ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee .. Ld. Public Prosecutor Ms. Faria Hossain Mr. Anand Kesari ... ... for the State We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 5 ltrs. of codeine mixture, which is above commercial quantity from the possession of the petitioner.

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

The application for bail is thus rejected.
