The petitioner was arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 23.10.2025, for the offence punishable under Sections 8(c), 22(c) and 29(1) of NDPS Act, registered in Crime No.201 of 2025, seeks bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that on 23.10.2025, the police party has received an information regarding the transportation of Methaphetamine and according to the information, the police party reached the Manavalanagar 1/4
Junction with the necessary equipment and documents for the case. The petitioner came in a Honda Dio two wheeler and he was immediately intercepted after complying with a mandatory provisions. The petitioner was found with 54 kgs of Methamphetamine kept in the vehicle and accordingly, the case was registered and the petitioner was arrested. On the basis of statement recorded from the petitioner the other accused were arrested.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case due to the rivalry of conducting a dance training programme and the vehicle involved in this case does not belong to the petitioner and the vehicle number is not also not mentioned in the FIR and further, the petitioner was originally picked up at Koyambedu Bus Stand and thereafter, taken to the police station and case has been registered against him and further submitted that the petitioner is an innocent and hence prays to grant bail to the petitioner.
4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that there are totally eight accused in this case and the petitioner herein is A1 and recovery is directly effected from the petitioner. It is case of commercial quantity and Section 37 of NDPS Act is 2/4
squarely applicable to the case of the petitioner herein. Further investigation revealed that they purchased the same from the other accused including Nigerian Nationals and it is a case of drug traffickers and investigation is pending and therefore, he opposes to grant bail to the petitioner.
5. I have gone through the FIR and other materials involved in this case. The petitioner has drove the two wheeler and he was intercepted and found with possession of 54 kgs of Methamphetamine which is a commercial quantity and in order to avail bail, the petitioner has not satisfied the twin conditions contemplated under Section 37 of NDPS Act. Though it is considered that, the petitioner has been falsely implicated after picked up from Koyambedu, there is no material to substantiate the same and since the recovery has been effected from the petitioner herein, this Court is not inclined to accept the case of the petitioner that he is falsely implicated in this case.
6. Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed. 28.01.2026 ssa 3/4
