- A n d - In the matter of : Ebrahim @ Ibrahim Sk.

.... Petitioner.

Mr. Tapodip Gupta, ... For the Petitioner. Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya, Mr. Ratul Ghosh, ... For the State. Order dictated by Arijit Banerjee, J.

1. Commercial quantity of contraband items being involved, in view of the restriction in Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to allow the petitioner's prayer for bail, at this stage.

2. In so far as the petitioner's grievance regarding delay in progress of trial is concerned, we see that on the last three occasions, hearing had to be adjourned by reason of absence of one or more co-accused persons. The prosecution cannot be blamed for delay, if any.

3. Hence, CRM (NDPS) 1517 of 2024 is dismissed. (Apurba Sinha Ray, J.) ( Arijit Banerjee, J. ) Signed By :
