Section 41B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 expressly prohibits grant of bail where the offence is punishable with imprisonment for more than five years (and contains a 'notwithstanding any written law' clause), thereby overriding the general discretionary bail provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code; accordingly the High Court must refuse the bail application for the charged offence and the Notice of Motion is dismissed.
