It noted that Section 32-A had been read down to preserve appellate power, while Section 37 still demands cautious scrutiny. The court framed custody-based guidelines for pending appeals, distinguishing between categories of contraband and length of custody, and excluding proclaimed offenders, absconders, repeat offenders, foreign nationals, persons involved in extraordinarily heavy quantities, and convicts under Sections 31 and 31A from the benefit of those guidelines. en-us Wed, 13 Dec 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 22 Dec 2021 17:49:32 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=299607 Article on NDPS post-conviction bail: the High Court recognised that Article 21 may require suspension of sentence and bail where a convict's appeal is unlikely to be heard within a reasonable time, notwithstanding the statutory constraints in the NDPS framework.
