https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312871 Delhi HC dismissed a bail petition in a heroin smuggling case. The petitioner sought default bail under Section 167(2) CrPC as the charge sheet was not filed within 60 days. The court held that while the petitioner had an indefeasible right to default bail, he could not exercise it due to lack of legal representation and not being informed of this right by the trial court. Following the Division Bench decision in Kishan Lal case, the court ruled that absence of FSL report with charge sheet does not entitle default bail under NDPS Act. Bail on merits was also denied considering 50 gms heroin recovery and no procedural violations. en-us Fri, 25 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 13 Mar 2024 08:43:19 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=312871 Delhi HC dismissed a bail petition in a heroin smuggling case.
