Holding
Bail was denied to the petitioner.
Summary
Suraj Kumar applied for bail in a case registered under Sections 21(c), 23(c) and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, alleging possession of a large quantity of narcotic substances recovered from his residence. The prosecution’s recovery list included hundreds of capsules and syrups of various controlled drugs. The petitioner argued for bail, but the court noted the substantial quantity seized as indicative of the seriousness of the offence. Considering the gravity of the alleged drug offences and the volume of narcotics involved, the court was not inclined to grant bail. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed, with the court clarifying that its observations were limited to the bail application and did not prejudice the merits of the trial.
