https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=797187 Section 37 of the NDPS Act requires affirmative satisfaction that an accused is not guilty and unlikely to reoffend before bail in commercial-quantity offences; prolonged pre-trial custody and Article 21 protections do not displace those twin conditions. Bail granted without recording that satisfaction, particularly where the accused's role, prior NDPS conviction, enhanced-punishment exposure, absconding risk and surety credibility require scrutiny, is unsustainable. Targeted safeguards for foreign nationals include passport deposit, FRRO registration, verified sureties, address and financial verification, embassy intimation, digital surety-verification systems, action over fake sureties, charges over surety property, and Form 47A under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. en-us Mon, 17 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 19 Aug 2026 08:20:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=797187 Section 37 of the NDPS Act requires affirmative satisfaction that an accused is not guilty and unlikely to reoffend before bail in commercial-quantity offences; prolonged pre-trial custody and Article 21 protections do not displace those twin conditions.
