https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172663 Section 37 of the NDPS Act imposes strict bail conditions for specified offences: the court must record satisfaction that there are reasonable grounds for believing the accused is not guilty and that the accused is not likely to commit an offence while on bail. "Reasonable grounds" requires more than a prima facie view and must rest on substantial probable cause supported by material. The court need not reach a finding of acquittal, but it must apply both statutory limbs and give reasons grounded in the record. Failure to record such satisfaction, including on the possession issue, renders the bail order unsustainable and requires fresh consideration under the statute. en-us Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 12:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=172663 Section 37 of the NDPS Act imposes strict bail conditions for specified offences: the court must record satisfaction that there are reasonable grounds for believing the accused is not guilty and that the accused is not likely to commit an offence while on bail.
