Advocate Mr. Sandip Chakraborty .. Advocate ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for about 477 days.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Statements of witnesses disclose recovery of narcotic substance above commercial quantity i.e. 421.3 kgs. of Ganja from the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid fact and 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.
