Alleged delay in sending samples and discrepancies in weight were regarded as trial issues, not grounds for bail, because the court would not conduct a mini trial at that stage. The 24-hour detention complaint failed because time was computed from formal arrest, not earlier questioning. Given the gravity of the offence and the restrictive Section 37 bail regime, release was declined. en-us Thu, 15 Feb 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Nov 2022 14:30:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=305208 In a chance-recovery narcotics case, Section 50 of the NDPS Act was treated as inapplicable where contraband was found in a briefcase during suspicion-based airport checking and no personal search after discovery was shown; the alleged Section 50 defect therefore did not support bail.
