RAMKUMAR, J. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * B.A. No. 2627 of 2008 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Dated: 3rd day of June 2008 ORDER Petitioners who is the 7th accused in O.R. No. 1/2008 of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, Kozhikode, seeks his enlargement on bail. The petitioner was arrested on 31-3-2008. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence opposed the application. 3. I perused the investigation files which do not reveal that the petitioner was an important link in the trafficking of heroin weighing several kgs. in this case. He appears to have been arrayed in this case long after the recoveries. No narcotic drug has been recovered from the petitioner . Even a statement under Sec. 67 of the N.D.P.S. Act has not been taken from the petitioner. The investigation files do not indicate, prima facie, that the petitioner could be found guilty of any of the offences under the N.D.P.S. Act. Under these circumstances, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail on appropriate grounds. 3. The petitioner is accordingly directed to be released on bail B.A. No. 2627 of 2008 -:2:- on his executing a bond for Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like amount of the satisfaction of the Special Judge for N.D.P.S. Act Cases, Vadakara and subject to the following conditions:- 1. The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays. 2. The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the police till the filing of the final report. 3. The petitioner shall not influence or intimidate the prosecution witnesses nor shall he attempt to tamper with the evidence for the prosecution. 4. The petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail. If the petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE. ani. B.A. No. 2627 of 2008 -:3:-
