Khalid Kasam Shaikh Vs. State of Maharashtra

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-04-1993

Reported in: 1994CriLJ2165

ORDER1. These three criminal applications for bail raise a common point of law in so far as the solitary ground canvassed before me by learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants was that the case is squarely covered by the decision of my brother Shah, J. dated 4-1-1992 in Criminal Application No. 3606 of 1992. That was also an application for bail under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substance Act, 1985 and the contention advanced was that where there are a series of arrests, one leading to the other, that the subsequent applicant is entitled to contend that even if he is charged with an offence under the Act that he cannot be put in trial along with other accused as the offence would be distinct and separate and that it would result in misjoinder of charges. My brother Shah, J. in the case before me had observed that the prosecution had contended that they do not desire to separate the trials and in that view of the matter that the accused would be en...
