“11. It is evident from a plain reading of the
non-obstante clause inserted in sub-section (1)
and the conditions imposed in sub-section (2) of
Section 37 that there are certain restrictions
placed on the power of the Court when granting
bail to a person accused of having committed an
offence under the NDPS Act. Not only are the
limitations imposed under Section 439 of the
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 to be kept in
mind, the restrictions placed under clause (b) of
sub-section (1) of Section 37 are also to be
factored in. The conditions imposed in
subsection (1) of Section 37 is that (i) the Public
Prosecutor ought to be given an opportunity to
oppose the application moved by an accused
person for release and (ii) if such an application
is opposed, then the Court must be satisfied that
there are reasonable grounds for believing that
the person accused is not guilty of such an
offence. Additionally, the Court must be satisfied
that the accused person is unlikely to commit
any offence while on bail.
14. To sum up, the expression “reasonable
grounds” used in clause (b) of Sub-Section (1)
of Section 37 would mean credible, plausible and
grounds for the Court to believe that the
accused person is not guilty of the alleged
offence. For arriving at any such conclusion,
such facts and circumstances must exist in a

[2026:RJ-JP:30040] (4 of 12) [CRLMB-12871/2025]
case that can persuade the Court to believe that
the accused person would not have committed
such an offence. Dove-tailed with the aforesaid
satisfaction is an additional consideration that
the accused person is unlikely to commit any
offence while on bail.
15. We may clarify that at the stage of
examining an application for bail in the context
of the Section 37 of the Act, the Court is not
required to record a finding that the accused
person is not guilty. The Court is also not
expected to weigh the evidence for arriving at a
finding as to whether the accused has
committed an offence under the NDPS Act or
not. The entire exercise that the Court is
expected to undertake at this stage is for the
limited purpose of releasing him on bail. Thus,
the focus is on the availability of reasonable
grounds for believing that the accused is not
guilty of the offences that he has been charged
with and he is unlikely to commit an offence
under the Act while on bail.
18. In our opinion the narrow parameters of bail
available under Section 37 of the Act, have not
been satisfied in the facts of the instant case. At
this stage, it is not safe to conclude that the
respondent has successfully demonstrated that
there are reasonable grounds to believe that he
is not guilty of the offence alleged against him,
for him to have been admitted to bail. “The
length of the period of his custody or the
fact that the charge-sheet has been filed
and the trial has commenced are by
themselves not considerations that can be
treated as persuasive grounds for granting
relief to the respondent under Section 37 of
the NDPS Act.”

[2026:RJ-JP:30040] (5 of 12) [CRLMB-12871/2025]
“14. This apart, it is noticed that the High Court,
in passing the impugned order of bail, had lost
sight of Section 37 of the NDPS Act, which, inter
alia, provides that no person accused of an
offence involving commercial quantity shall be
released on bail unless the twin conditions laid
down therein are satisfied, namely, (i) the public
prosecutor has been given an opportunity to
oppose the bail application; and (ii) the court is
satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for
believing that he is not guilty of such an offence
and that he is not likely to commit any such
offence while on bail.
16. In view of the above provisions, it is implicit
that no person accused of an offence involving
trade in commercial quantity of narcotics is
liable to be released on bail unless the court is
satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for
believing that he is not guilty of such an offence
and that he is not likely to commit any offence
while on bail.
17. The quantity of “ganja” recovered is
admittedly of commercial quantity. The High
Court has not recorded any finding that the
respondent-accused is not prima facie guilty of
the offence alleged and that he is not likely to
commit the same offence when enlarged on bail
rather his antecedents are indicative that he is a
regular offender. In the absence of recording of
such satisfaction by the court, we are of the
opinion that the High Court manifestly erred in
enlarging the respondent-accused on bail.”

“9. A plain reading of statutory provision makes

regular or anticipatory, as the case may be, the

there are grounds for believing that the accused

is not guilty of the offence alleged and that he is
not likely to commit any offence while on bail.
11. In case of recovery of such a huge quantity
of narcotic substance, the Courts should be slow
in granting even regular bail to the accused what
to talk of anticipatory bail more so when the
accused is alleged to be having criminal
antecedents.
12. For entertaining a prayer for bail in a case
involving recovery of commercial quantity of
narcotic drug or psychotropic substance, the
Court would have to mandatorily record the
satisfaction in terms of the rider contained in
Section 37 of the NDPS Act.”

“64. Now we shall come to category (C). We do
not wish to deal with individual enactments as
each special Act has got an objective behind it,
followed by the rigor imposed. The general
principle governing delay would apply to these
categories also. To make it clear, the provision
contained in Section 436A of the Code would
apply to the Special Acts also in the absence of
any specific provision. For example, the rigor as
provided under Section 37 of the NDPS Act
would not come in the way in such a case as we
are dealing with the liberty of a person. We do
feel that more the rigor, the quicker the
adjudication ought to be. After all, in these types
of cases number of witnesses would be very less
and there may not be any justification for
prolonging the trial. Perhaps there is a need to
comply with the directions of this Court to
expedite the process and also a stricter
compliance of Section 309 of the Code.”

“36. At this stage, we must deal with the recent
judgments in case of Simarnjit vs. State of Punjab,
(Criminal Appeal No.1443/2023), in case of Yusuf @
Asif vs. State (2023 SCC Online SC 1328), and in case
of Mohammed Khalid and Another vs. State of
Telangana ((2024) 5 SCC 393) in which the convictions
have been set aside by this Court on finding non-
compliance of Section 52A and relying upon the
observations made in case of Mohanlal. Apart from the
fact that the said cases have been decided on the facts
of each case, none of the judgments has proposed to
lay down any law either with regard to Section 52A or
on the issue of admissibility of any other evidence
collected during the course of trial under the NDPS Act.
Therefore, we have considered the legislative history of
Section 52A and other Statutory Standing Orders as
also the judicial pronouncements, which clearly lead to
an inevitable conclusion that delayed compliance or
non- compliance of Section 52A neither vitiates the trial
affecting conviction nor can be a sole ground to seek
bail. In our opinion, the decisions of Constitution
Benches in case of Pooran Mal and Baldev Singh must
take precedence over any observations made in the
judgments made by the benches of lesser strength,
which are made without considering the scheme,
purport and object of the Act and also without
considering the binding precedents.
39. The upshot of the above discussion may be
summarized as under:
(i) The provisions of NDPS Act are required to
be interpreted keeping in mind the scheme,
object and purpose of the Act; as also the
impact on the society as a whole. It has to be
interpreted literally and not liberally, which may
ultimately frustrate the object, purpose and
Preamble of the Act.
(ii) While considering the application for bail,
the Court must bear in mind the provisions of
Section 37 of the NDPS Act which are
mandatory in nature. Recording of findings as
mandated in Section 37 is sine qua non is(Uploaded on 08/07/2026 at 11:05:23 AM)

[2026:RJ-JP:30040] (9 of 12) [CRLMB-12871/2025]known for granting bail to the accused involved
in the offences under the NDPS Act.
(iii) The purpose of insertion of Section 52A
laying down the procedure for disposal of seized
Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances,
was to ensure the early disposal of the seized
contraband drugs and substances. It was
inserted in 1989 as one of the measures to
implement and to give effect to the
International Conventions on the Narcotic drugs
and psychotropic substances.
(iv) Sub-section (2) of Section 52A lays down
the procedure as contemplated in sub-section
(1) thereof, and any lapse or delayed
compliance thereof would be merely a
procedural irregularity which would neither
entitle the accused to be released on bail nor
would vitiate the trial on that ground alone.
(v) Any procedural irregularity or illegality found
to have been committed in conducting the
search and seizure during the course of
investigation or thereafter, would by itself not
make the entire evidence collected during the
course of investigation, inadmissible. The Court
would have to consider all the circumstances
and find out whether any serious prejudice has
been caused to the accused.
(vi) Any lapse or delay in compliance of Section
52A by itself would neither vitiate the trial nor
would entitle the accused to be released on bail.
The Court will have to consider other
circumstances and the other primary evidence
collected during the course of investigation, as
also the statutory presumption permissible
under Section 54 of the NDPS Act.”
