As per the prosecution story, on 01.05.2019, at about 10:00 p.m., a police party was on patrol duty at Deunghat Road. Police received a tipoff qua a drug peddler. After completing all the codal formalities police formed a raiding party and knocked the door of the said drug peddler. One Amit Kumar opened the door and thereafter the police conducted the search of the room. Police recovered a polythene pouch from the room, which contained some powder like substance. Police also recovered lighter, two syringes, a piece of unused foil paper, eight used foil papers, two empty polythene pouches and two empty wrappers of tablet Add NOK-N. The recovered powder, on checking, was found to be heroine (chitta) and on weighment it was found to be 11.45 grams. Thereafter, the police completed all the codal formalities and registered a case. Police prepared the spot map and also recorded the statements of the witnesses. The accused was arrested and during the course of interrogation he divulged that he used to purchase chitta from one Nigerian person. The accused divulged that he could identify the said Nigerian person. The accused gave his statement under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act and on 04.05.2019 he got the present petitioner arrested from Delhi. The petitioner disclosed his name as Nnanna Everistus. The petitioner was arrested and during the course of interrogation he divulged that he has hidden 15 grams of Heroine in his rented room at Uttam Nagar, Delhi. The accused gave his statement under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act and on 04.05.2019 he got the present petitioner arrested from Delhi. The petitioner disclosed his name as Nnanna Everistus. The petitioner was arrested and during the course of interrogation he divulged that he has hidden 15 grams of Heroine in his rented room at Uttam Nagar, Delhi. The room of the present petitioner located in H Block 5, Mohan Garden, Delhi, was searched and 15.72 grams of Heroine was recovered. Police completed all the codal formalities and sample of the contraband was sent for scientific analysis and as per the chemical analysis report, the recovered contraband is Heroine. During the course of investigation, it was unearthed that the petitioner is drug peddler. The petitioner disclosed that he is Nigerian citizen, but he could not produce any valid proof qua his citizenship. However, later on the Advocate of the accused produced the Passport of the petitioner, which is yet to be verified. Lastly, it is prayed that the bail application of the petitioner be dismissed, as the petitioner was involved in a serious offence and there is every possibility that in case at this stage he is enlarged on bail, he may flee from justice or tamper with the prosecution witnesses. 4. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner, learned Additional Advocate General for the State and gone through the record, including the police report, carefully. 5. The learned Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has further argued that the petitioner neither in a position to tamper with the prosecution evidence nor in a position to flee from justice. He has further argued that no fruitful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner behind the bars for an unlimited period, so the bail application be allowed and the petitioner be enlarged on bail. Conversely, the learned Additional Advocate General has argued that the petitioner was found involved in a serious offence and he is foreign national, so at this stage, in case he is enlarged on bail, he may tamper with the prosecution evidence and may also flee from justice. He has further argued that the petitioner is drug peddler and he is spoiling the society. He has prayed that the bail application of the petitioner be dismissed. 6. He has further argued that the petitioner is drug peddler and he is spoiling the society. He has prayed that the bail application of the petitioner be dismissed. 6. In rebuttal the learned Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner cannot be kept behind the bars for an unlimited period, so the application be allowed and the petitioner be enlarged on bail. 7. At this stage, after taking into consideration the seriousness of the offence, the manner in which the offence is alleged to have been committed, the role of the petitioner in the office, the fact that the petitioner is foreign national and in case he is enlarged on bail, there is possibility that he may flee from justice or tamper with the prosecution evidence and also considering all other facets of the case and without discussing the same at this stage, this Court finds that the present is not a fit case where the judicial discretion to admit the petitioner on bail is required to be exercised in his favour. The petitioner was found involved in a serious offence of dealing in Heroine and in order to secure his presence for the ensuing judicial process, as he is foreign national and may flee from justice, it is apt to dismisses the present bail application. Therefore, the petition, which sans merits, deserves dismissal and is accordingly dismissed.
