PoliticsMadras HC Rules Bail Can Be Denied After One Year in Narcotics Case
The Madras High Court ruled that bail can be denied even after one year of incarceration in narcotic drug cases if reasonable grounds exist to suspect the accused's guilt. Justice N. Ramesh emphasized that the right to a speedy trial does not override Section 37 of the NDPS Act, which restricts bail. The court refused bail to Muneer Sheik, arrested in Tiruvallur for possessing 55 grams of methamphetamine.
