3. Heard, Mr. Sanjib Kumar Bhanjadeo, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record.
4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence as alleged against the petitioner vis-à- vis the allegation sought to be brought against him p. 2 and regard being had to the recovery and seizure of such a huge quantity of Brown Sugar to the tune of 1.110Kgs, which is well above the commercial quantity allegedly from the possession of the petitioner and his consequent failure to satisfy the conditions of Sec.37 of NDPS Act, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
