Article 21 | Sole Male Caregiver Entitled to Interim Bail for Mother’s Cardiac Surgery Despite NDPS & IPC Charges: Rajasthan HC

The Rajasthan High Court granted 30-day interim bail to an accused under the NDPS Act and IPC, recognizing that Article 21’s right to life includes the right to familial care during critical medical emergencies. This sets a precedent for non-commercial drug offenders with no alternative caregivers, expanding humanitarian bail beyond mere medical diagnosis to include structural family dependency.
