Page No.# 2/2 GRPS Case No. 60/2025. 4 (four) persons were travelling together in a train and from each of them different quantities of ganja were recovered. In total 65.5 kg of ganja were recovered from all the four persons. Only 19 kg of ganja were recovered from each of the petitioners. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for both the sides. In the case of Amarsingh Ramjibhai Barot V. State of Gujrat, reported in (2005) 7 SCC 550, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that the individual quantity should be considered as seized drugs and not the entire amount of drugs seized from different persons. Mr. Porasor has objected to this bail application. The petitioner has already spent 56 (fifty six) days in judicial custody. Considering the aforesaid facts, this court is of the opinion that the petitioner deserves to be released on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner Raireikhan Tungshang, who is in custody in connection with Guwahati GRPS Case No. 60/2025, is allowed to go on bail of Rs.50,000/- with one local surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge, NDPS, Kamrup (M), Guwahati. The bail application is disposed of
