... Petitioner.

Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Saha.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saryati Datta.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for 308 days. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses and contemporaneous document show recovery of narcotic substance above commercial quantity i.e. 50 kgs. of ganja 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.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
