As per case facts, petitioner Sunil Kumar sought regular bail in FIR No. 120 of 2025 under the NDPS Act after police recovered 29.840 grams of heroin from a vehicle ... where he was a passenger. Despite a co-accused being released on bail and the quantity being intermediate, the petitioner faced opposition due to criminal antecedents, including a prior FIR for a similar offense. The question arose whether the petitioner was entitled to bail based on parity and intermediate quantity, considering the societal impact of drug offenses and his criminal record. Finally, the Court, applying Supreme Court precedents, ruled that conscious possession was established. It emphasized that bail is not a right even for intermediate quantities, citing the drug menace and the petitioner's criminal antecedents as disentitling factors, leading to the dismissal of the bail petition despite the co-accused's bail.
