07.12.2022 Sl. No.13 [Rejected] C. R. M. (NDPS) 1450 of 2022 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 02.12.2022 in connection with Sagardighi Police Station Case No.488 of 2021 dated 21.12.2021 under Sections 21(c)/29 of the NDPS Act. (NDPS Case No.288 of 2021) And In Re: Ranjit Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Tapodip Gupta ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee .. ld. Public Prosecutor Mr. Sanjay Bardhan Mr. Palash Ch. Majhi ... ... 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. 2500 bottles of phensedyl syrup, which is above commercial quantity from the joint possession of the petitioner and co-accused. 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.

The application for bail is thus rejected.
