Mr. Navanil De Mr. Srinjan Ghosh ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Bhaskar Prosad Banerjee Ms. Sretapa Sinha ……for the Air Customs Authority. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that there has been alleged recovery of 17102 Gms. of Ganja at the Airport from the petitioner. Petitioner was arrested on 21st June, 2026. Complaint has already been submitted before the jurisdictional Court. As such petitioner prays for bail. Learned advocate for the Air Customs Authority opposes the prayer for bail.
