Because the applicant is charged under s.39B(1) DDA which, by s.39B(2), is punishable by death or imprisonment for life (and therefore falls within offences punishable with death or imprisonment exceeding five years), s.41B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 operates to prohibit grant of bail; the specific prohibition in s.41B prevails over the general bail power in s.388 CPC and binding precedents mandate refusal of bail.
