Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal of Sanjay Kumar Kedia against the dismissal of multiple bail applications under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The Court examined the applicability of Section 24 of the Act, determining that the evidence presented did not substantiate the allegations of involvement in the supply of banned substances. The Court also considered the protection under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 for service providers, ultimately holding that the appellant's companies were entitled to such protection, leading to the conclusion that the case against him lacked merit.
