Bombay HC grants bail to NDPS accused; observes Arthur road jail overcrowded by 5-6 times its sanctioned capacity | Mumbai News

Granting bail to an accused arrested in 2021 for allegedly possessing banned narcotics substance mephedrone (MD), the Bombay High Court on Friday observed that Arthur Road jail (Mumbai Central Prison) is overcrowded by five to six times the sanctioned inmate capacity, leading to ‘inhumane’ situation. The bench noted that while it had to balance between two priorities between overcrowding prisons and addiction of drugs being a serious issue for society at large, there was an ambiguity in recording the correct weight of contraband at the time of seizure and that the accused was incarcerated for nearly four years without conclusion of trial. A single-judge bench of Justice Milind N Jadhav on February 7 was hearing bail plea by one Sameer Latif Shaikh argued through advocate Nimesh Mehta. Shaikh was booked and arrested by Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) in June, 2021 for possessing 52 grams of MD, which is 2 grams above commercial quantity under Narcotics Drug and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

Forensic report confirms presence of cocaine residue in NDPS case

Published by Parlour News

The Kochi City police probing a Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act case involving Omprakash, against whom several cases have been booked, have confirmed that the residue recovered from a zip cover found in his room in a hotel at Kundannoor last month was cocaine. A forensic report confirmed the suspicion. But the latest finding was unlikely to be of any significance as the police could not move for the cancellation of the bail of the accused, including Omprakash, based on it. For, the seized residue was too miniscule to be booked for non-bailable charges. The gravity of the offences under the NDPS Act is based on the quantity seized, according to sources. Apart from Omprakash, the police had also arrested Shihas, 55, of Kottarakkara in Kollam, who was arraigned as the first accused, on October 6. This was followed by the arrest of one Binu Joseph of Elamakkara after his presence was detected by the police in the same hotel. All three managed to secure bail. The incident hogged much media attention after …
