Mr. Soumen Karati ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Mr. Sanjib Kumar Dan ...for the State.

Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within one month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Accordingly, the application being IA No: CRAN 1 of 2020 is disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner with other co-accused persons in dealing in narcotic substance above commercial quantity i.e. 25 kg of ganja and in view of the statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court. (Shampa Sarkar, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
