2 issues framed by the court
Whether the accused should be granted regular bail under Section 483 BNSS in an NDPS case involving 5 kg 920 g of hydroponic weed allegedly smuggled from Bangkok.
Whether hydroponic weed, though below commercial quantity under the NDPS Act, is a highly potent form of ganja warranting denial of bail.
