| Decision |
The court allowed the petition for post-arrest bail, emphasizing that the mere possession of a spurious drug is not punishable under Section 27 of the Drugs Act, 1976. The petitioner had been detained since June 27, 2006, and the court noted that keeping him incarcerated without the commencement of trial would not serve justice. The petitioner was admitted to bail upon furnishing bonds of Rs. 50,000 with one surety. |
