SRI.C.P.UDAYABHANU, STANDING COUNSEL FOR NARCOTIC CONTROL BUREAU. THIS BAIL APPLICATION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: V. RAMKUMAR, J. -------------------------------- Bail Application No. 3253 OF 2007 -------------------------------- DATED: 04-06-2007 O R D E R In this Petition filed under Sec. Cr.P.C. the petitioner who is the 2nd accused in O.R. No. 3 of 2006 of Narcotic Control Bureau Thiruvananthapuram, for offences punishable under Sections 21 C, 27 A, 28 and 29 of the N.D.P.S. Act, 1985, seeks his enlargement on bail. He was arrested on 28-2-2006. 2. The case of the prosecution is that on 18-8-2006, when the accused was arrested with 750 grams of heroine, he during interrogation confessed that it was the petitioner who was financing the acquisition and trafficking of the narcotic drug. The petitioner is stated to be a regular peddler of narcotic drugs. 3. While disposing of an earlier application for bail filed by the petitioner in B.A. 1208 of 2007, this Court was not inclined to release the petitioner on bail but, instead, directed the trial court to dispose of his case within six months of the receipt of a copy of the said order. There is no dispute that the case has since been posted for trial and the case has been scheduled to 11-6-2007 for the commencement of the prosecution evidence. Under these circumstances, I see no ground to release the petitioner on bail. This application is accordingly dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. B.A.No. 2 ani
