Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal by the Union of India against the Allahabad High Court's decision to grant bail to Prateek Shukla, who was accused under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The Court emphasized the seriousness of the allegations and the potential for tampering with evidence, ultimately ruling that bail should not have been granted in this case. The judgment reinforces the stringent approach towards bail in narcotics-related offenses.
