Section 41B of the Dangerous Drugs Act, as interpreted by binding Federal Court authority, overrides the general bail provision in s.388 Criminal Procedure Code; therefore the court has no jurisdiction to grant bail to persons charged under s.39B of the Act (offences punishable with death) and the applicants' claims of prior illegal detention or delay do not constitute special circumstances to displace s.41B.
