We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 45 kgs. of Ganja, which is above commercial quantity from the possession of the petitioner. Trial is in progress. In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials on record and statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
