~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Petition filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. 2. Petitioner is the accused in Crime No.1330/2014 of Palarivattom Police Station registered for the offence punishable under Section 20(b)(ii)(B) of the NDPS Act.
3. The allegation against the petitioner is that on 16.09.2014 at 9.30 a.m. he was found in possession of 1300 grams of ganja and the same was intended for sale.
4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor.
5. No criminal antecedents have been reported against the petitioner. The contents of the CD reveal that the investigation of this case is practically over. It has been reported that the petitioner is a student of 21 years. Of course, the acts allegedly committed by him are quite unbecoming of a student. Whatever it be, when no criminal antecedents are there and the investigation of this case is practically over, the continued detention of the petitioner in custody is not required. Therefore, this Court is of the view that the petitioner can be enlarged on bail.
6. In the result, this Bail Application is allowed and the petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on his executing a bond for `1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the concerned Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, and subject to the following terms and conditions:-
(i) The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer in between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Fridays and Mondays, commencing from 31.10.2014 for a period of three months or till the filing of the final report in this case, whichever is earlier.
(ii) The petitioner shall not tamper with the evidence or influence witnesses.
(iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
(iv) The petitioner shall not involve in any offence while on bail.
