The petitioner sought interim bail for two months in a case related to the NDPS Act, where he was found with 240 grams of heroin. The commercial quantity is 250 grams, and he has been in custody since June 24, 2017. The grounds for seeking bail included the ill health of the petitioner's wife, the dilapidated state of their house needing urgent repairs, and the petitioner being a mason who could repair the house himself. The wife had a history of Meningitis Tuberculosis, adding to the family's challenges.

Considering the circumstances, the judge found that the petitioner had made a case for interim bail for four weeks from the date of release. The bail conditions included a bond amount, a surety, reporting to the local police station within 48 hours of release, a subsequent report after 15 days, and surrendering after the four-week period.

The petition was disposed of with the specified terms, and an order was issued for Dasti under the Court Master's signatures.
