Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court granted bail to the appellant under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, noting that the quantity of Ganja involved was only 14 Kgs, which is classified as a non-commercial quantity. The Court held that since the appellant was not involved in any other criminal cases, bail should be granted pending trial, subject to conditions including a bond of Rs. 10,000 and regular appearances before the Station House Officer. The appeal was disposed of accordingly.
