The earlier refusal of bail on merits was treated as relevant, parity with the co-accused was rejected because the recovery and allegations were materially different, and delay in trial was found insufficient to justify release given the special court proceedings, the number of witnesses, and the statutory limitations governing serious NDPS offences.
