Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Delhi High Court's decision granting post-arrest bail to Mohit Agarwal, who was accused under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The court emphasized the seriousness of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence if bail was granted. The judgment reinforced the need for stringent measures in cases involving narcotics to ensure justice and public safety.
