Mohd.Sahabuddin & Anr vs State Of Assam

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Gauhati High Court's refusal to grant bail under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, specifically citing Section 36A(4) of the N.D.P.S. Act and Section 167(2) of the Cr.P.C. The Court held that the appellants, who were found in possession of cough syrups containing codeine phosphate beyond permissible limits, did not meet the criteria for bail, as the quantity of the prohibited substance was significant and concealed. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
