Having heard both sides and considering the fact that huge quantity of cough syrup containing codeine has been recovered from the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge in this case.

With the aforesaid observations, this application is dismissed.
