Section 430 CrPC/BNSS 389 | Suspension of Sentence Permissible for NDPS Convicts Despite Statutory Rigour : MP High Court

MP High Court holds that convicts under the NDPS Act can still seek suspension of sentence pending appeal under Section 430 CrPC/BNSS 389, prioritizing procedural fairness over the Act's stringent bail presumptions. The ruling underscores judicial discretion to grant bail even in drug cases where statutory provisions create a higher threshold for relief.
