M. 8325 of 2020 [via video conferencing] In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 09.10.2020 in connection with New Jalpaiguri Police Station Case No. 439 of 2018 dated 20.06.2018 under Sections 21(c)/22(c) of the NDPS Act and charge-sheet No. 882 of 2018 dated 11.12.2018 submitted under Sections 20(b)(ii)(c)/22(c) of the NDPS Act. And In Re: Ajay Ray ... ... Petitioner Mr. Anirban Banerjee .. Advocate ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Niloy Chakraborty .. Advocate Mr. Abhijit Sarkar .. Advocate ... ... for the State Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in dealing in narcotic substance i.e. 24 kgs. of Ganja, which is above commercial quantity and in view of the statutory restrictions under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, we are not inclined in granting bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is thus rejected.

Trial court however, is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
