Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
Single Judge Bench allowed bail to the petitioner, Chanchal Roy, in an NDPS case. The Court held that reliance solely on an inadmissible co-accused statement does not justify denying bail under CrPC 439, especially as no contraband was recovered from the petitioner's possession, meaning Section 37 of the NDPS Act did not apply.
What did the court decide?
Bail allowed upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- and two sureties of Rs. 5,000/- each, subject to availability.
