ORDER
Petitioner is the sole accused in crime No.51/2021 of Cherpu police station, which was registered alleging offence under Sections 20(b)(ii)A, 22(c) and 29 of the NDPS Act.
2. The crime was registered on 22.01.2021, after seizing
28.7 grams of MDMA and 20 ml of hashish oil from the possession of the petitioner. On completion of investigation, charge sheet has already been laid. Now the case is pending as S.C.No.361/20121 before the First Additional Sessions Court, Thrissur.
3. Even though the learned counsel persuaded me to
take a lenient view stating that the petitioner is only 23 years old and is a first time offender, having regard to the embargo under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, the court cannot show any kind of indulgence in favour of the petitioner. The application is devoid of merit and accordingly, is dismissed. Sd/- K.HARIPAL JUDGE nkr/29.07.2021
