Heard, Mr. Subhasish Satapathy, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. M.R. Patra, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record. 3. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioners vis-à-vis the accusations sought to be brought against them and regard being had to the recovery and seizure of such a quantity of Contraband Ganja to the tune of 50Kgs, which is well above the commercial quantity from the vehicle allegedly in occupation of the petitioners and their consequent failure to satisfy the conditions of Sec.37 of NDPS Act, which is sine qua non for grant of bail for commission of offence under NDPS Act involving commercial quantity and the final Prosecution Report having not yet been submitted, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to any of the petitioners. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioners stands rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately forwarded to the court in seisin over the matter for reference. (G. Satapathy) Judge S.Sasmal Designation: Jr. Stenographer
