The allegation is that 10 Grams of heroin was recovered from the joint possession of the petitioners. The said amount being intermediate quantity, the statutory restrictions in Section 37 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 would not be attracted. We have seen the material in the Case Diary. The petitioners say that they have been falsely implicated.

¶9

On an overall assessment of the material on record and given the fact that charge-sheet has been submitted and that the petitioners have been in custody for 109 days, we are of the view that further custodial detention of the petitioners is not necessary.

¶10

Accordingly, we direct that the petitioners viz., 1. Provakar Mondal @ Prabhakar Mondal @ Moru @ Pravakar Mondal , 2. Sourav Biswas @ Buro shall be released on bail

¶13

In the event the petitioners fail to adhere to any of the conditions stipulated above without justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the petitioners’ bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.
