This petition is for bail.
2. The alleged offence is under Section 21 of Narcotic Drugs
and Psychotropic Substances Act. According to prosecution,
petitioner was found in possession of 66 ampules of Pentazocine on
25/05/2010 and he was arrested on the same day. Sixty six
ampules each containing 1 ml is seized.
3. Petitioner is in custody for the past 23 days. Learned
counsel for petitioner submitted that the small quantity is 20 gms.
but the prosecution has not stated the weight of Pentazocine in the
ampules.

submitted that the quantity of the article is 60.06 gms. of
Pentazocine, as per the instructions. It is an intermediate quantity.
Matter is under investigation.
