Petitioner in custody since 08.08.2026 with substantial progress in investigation and regard being had to the other circumstances on record in entirety including the well-recognized principle “bail is the rule, but jail is the exception” and the absence of any criminal antecedents against the petitioner for similar offence and the quantity of contraband ganja allegedly seized in this case being for intermediate quantity, which does not attract the provision of Section 37 of NDPS Act, this Court without expressing any view on merit admits the Petitioner to bail.
