4. 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 p. 2 regard being had to the recovery and seizure of 110Kgs of Contraband Ganja, 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, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners.
Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stand rejected. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of the order be immediately sent to the learned trial Court.
