Learned Public Prosecutor, having assistance with the Investigating Officer, has opposed the bail application and submits that the poppy husk weighing 75 Kg was recovered from the conscious possession of petitioners, which is above commercial quantity, hence, in view of the bar envisaged under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, petitioners are not entitled to be released on bail. 4. Having heard learned counsel for petitioners as well as learned public prosecutor and perused the material available on record, considering the rival contention of counsel for both parties and the quantity of contraband recovered from petitioners, which is of commercial quantity as also in view of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioners on bail at this stage. 5. Accordingly, instant second bail application is dismissed. 6. However, it is hereby directed that the trial Court shall make an endeavor to expedite the trial of the present case.
