Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Bombay High Court erred in granting bail to the respondent under the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, specifically citing Section 37 which imposes restrictions on bail for offenses under the Act. The Court emphasized that the non-supply of documents does not constitute a valid ground for bail, and the High Court's conclusion was deemed incorrect. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's bail order, reinforcing the stringent provisions of the NDPS Act regarding bail.
