As per case facts, the Petitioner, Noop Ram, sought regular bail after being apprehended with a commercial quantity of charas (1 kg 28 grams) and charged under the NDPS Act.
...He claimed false implication and sought bail due to alleged delays in the ongoing trial, where several witnesses have been examined. The question arose whether the Petitioner met the twin conditions for bail under Section 37 of the NDPS Act, especially given the commercial quantity of contraband and the claim of trial delay. Finally, the Court found prima facie evidence connecting the Petitioner to the crime and no assurance that he would not re-offend on bail. The Court also ruled that bail cannot be granted solely on grounds of prolonged incarceration without satisfying Section 37. Consequently, the bail petition was dismissed.
