Dismissed

Orissa HCBLAPL/7330/2023
Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
The High Court of Orissa rejected a bail application filed by an accused in an NDPS trial alleging drug transportation. The Court held that despite delay claims, the bar under Section 37(1)(b)(ii) of the NDPS Act and the near-conclusion of the trial precluded entertaining the bail plea at that stage, with permission to renew if the trial extends beyond Q1 2024.
What did the court decide?
The High Court disposed of the bail petition, refused to entertain it, and granted leave to renew the prayer if the trial is not concluded by the end of the first quarter of 2024.
