O R D E R

The petitioner is the accused in Crime No.319/2024 of Vellarada Police Station. The above case is registered against the petitioner alleging offences punishable under Sections 20(b)(ii)C and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (NDPS Act). The accused in this case was found in possession of 47.160 Kgms of Ganja.

2. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that the mother of the petitioner is seriously laid up and there is nobody to look after her. The counsel for the petitioner seeks an interim bail to the petitioner. The petitioner also produced Annexures E & F.

3. Considering the above submission, I think, the petitioner can move the trial court with appropriate application for interim bail with supporting documents. If, such an application is filed, the trial court will consider the same and pass appropriate orders in it, in accordance with law.

With the above observation, this bail application is disposed of.
