    HCMP1978/1982

    Given the large quantity of drugs and manufacturing paraphernalia found at the premises, the potential operation of the presumption of involvement for those present, the seriousness of the offences and likely substantial sentences, and the real risk of flight, the magistrate erred in granting bail and the High Court must remand the accused in custody pending trial.
