But at the same time, I am inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Investigating Officer for the purpose of interrogation and then to have his application for bail considered by the Special Court (NDPS) Thodupuzha having jurisdiction. Accordingly, the petitioner shall surrender before the investigating officer on any day between 27-3-2009 and 30-3-2009 for the purpose of interrogation and recovery of incriminating material, if any. The petitioner shall thereafter be produced on the same day before the Special Court (NDPS), Thodupuzha and the court shall
