(NDPS Case No.31 of 2020) And In Re: Dipu Paswan & Ors.

... ... Petitioners Ms. Punam Basu Mr. Sayan Kanjilal ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Saryati Datta ... ... for the State Heard the learned advocate appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses including contemporaneous document i.e. seizure memo disclose recovery of narcotic substance i.e. 1.5 ltrs. of codeine mixture, which is above commercial quantity from the joint possession of the petitioners. In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials and statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.

The application for bail is thus rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date.
