Vishnu Shankar Jadhav v. the State of Maharashtra
Case brief
What is this about?
In this bail application, the High Court at Aurangabad allowed release to the applicant. The Court noted that the seized cannabis was weighed with flower tops intact, creating doubt whether the quantity was commercial. Due to this uncertainty, Section 37 of the NDPS Act did not apply. Consequently, non-compliance of Section 41(1)(2) mandated bail.
What did the court decide?
Release on bail on Rs.50,000 bond with one solvent surety of Rs.50,000 for Crime No.328 of 2022 in connection with Section 8(c), 20(b)(ii) of NDPS Act.
