Delhi High Court dismisses statutory bail petition, holding that commercial quantity of methamphetamine precludes bail under the NDPS Act.
The Kerala High Court granted bail after forensic analysis revealed the seized substance was methamphetamine, not MDMA, reducing the quantity from commercial to intermediate under the NDPS Act. This removes the mandatory bail bar under Section 37, affirming that precise chemical identification - not police allegations - determines statutory thresholds and bail eligibility in drug cases.
