Bail Application No.6583 of 2010
------------------------------------------------
Dated this the 26th day of October, 2010
ORDER
The petitioner, who is accused No.5 in Crime No.8 of 2009 of
Excise Enforcement and Anti Narcotic Special Squad, Kottaym for
an offence punishable under Section 21 (c) of the NDPS Act, seeks
anticipatory bail.
2. The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the application.
3. Anticipatory bail cannot be granted in a case of this
nature. But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioner
to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of
interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered
by the Special Judge (NDPS) having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the
petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on
11/11/2010 or on 12/11/2010 for the purpose of interrogation
and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall
thereafter be produced before the Special Judge (NDPS),
Thodupuzha who on being satisfied that the petitioner has been
interrogated by the police shall consider and dispose of his
application for regular bail preferably on the same date on which it
is filed.
This petition is disposed of as above.
V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
