Prolonged pre-trial custody in an NDPS case entitled the appellant to parity-based bail because an identically situated co-accused travelling with the appellant had already been released; bail was therefore granted. Bail is subject to stringent conditions to be fixed by the trial court, including surrender of passport and cooperation in trial.

Observations are limited to bail and do not determine trial merits.
