Shamshoddin @ Baban Amiruddin Sheikh v. the State of Mah
Case brief
What is this about?
In a bail application under Sections 17 and 22 of the NDPS Act, the High Court rejected the plea. Although the opium quantity was less than the commercial limit, the Court held the offence was not trivial. It found the applicant was not satisfied deserving bail, noting it is difficult to accept non-guilt at this stage and that the 10-year sentence limit is not grounds for favorable consideration.
What did the court decide?
Bail application rejected.
