Bail Application No.2024 of 2010

Dated this the 16th day of April, 2010
O R D E R
This is an application for regular bail filed by the
petitioner, who is accused in Crime No. 6/2010 of
Chathannoor Excise Range, in which offences under Section
22(b) of the NDPS Act is involved.
2. The allegation against the petitioner is that, on
27-2-2010 the accused was found in possession of 7 ampules
of Buprenorphine, measuring 2 ml each and committed
offence u/s.22(b) of the NDPS Act.
4. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner
and also the learned Public Prosecutor.
5. The petitioner is arrested only on 27-2-2010. The
investigation in this case is in progress. Considering the
nature of the offences involved in the case, I am not
inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage,
especially since the release of the petitioner at this stage is
B.A.No.2024 of 2010
-:2:-
likely to affect the investigation adversely and there is no
guarantee that he would not influence the witnesses and
interfere with the investigation.
In the result, there is no merit in the petition for bail
and accordingly, the same is dismissed.
V.K.MOHANAN,
JUDGE
