Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined the legality of bail granted by the Bombay High Court to Vigin K. Varghese in cases related to the seizure of cocaine under the NDPS Act. The Court considered whether the High Court's decision to grant bail was justified given the serious nature of the offence and the evidence of large quantity of narcotics involved. The Court upheld the High Court's order, emphasizing the importance of balancing individual liberty with the gravity of drug offences. The appeal was thus dismissed, affirming the bail order.
