NDPS Act Section 37 | Intermediate Quantity Heroin & Clean Record Justify Bail Despite Statutory Stringency: HP HC
Himachal Pradesh High Court grants bail to a B.Pharmacy student accused of possessing 105.23g heroin, ruling that intermediate quantity under NDPS Act Section 37, coupled with no criminal antecedents and strong societal roots, outweighs speculative risks of flight or tampering. The decision underscores that statutory bail restrictions are not absolute when personal liberty and proportionality are at stake.
