1. Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 5000 bottles of phensedyl syrup containing codeine phosphate, which is above commercial quantity from a vehicle. Petitioner was the driver of the vehicle. 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.

3. The application for bail is thus rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
