Court Grants Bail to Woman in Ganja Case
The Telangana High Court recently made a decision in a case involving two people accused of trafficking ganja.
The court looked at the case where 33.058 kilograms of ganja were found in two suitcases at a railway station.
The court decided to grant bail to one of the accused, Sujata Singh, because she is a woman with a young child.
However, the court refused to grant bail to the other accused, Rajesh Bishoyi, because the amount of ganja found was considered a commercial quantity, which makes it harder to get bail.
The court said that the conditions for bail were not met in Rajesh Bishoyi's case.
This decision shows how the court considers different factors, like the amount of contraband and personal circumstances, when deciding on bail.
The Telangana High Court granted bail to Sujata Singh, a woman accused in a ganja trafficking case, due to her being a mother with a one-year-old child.
The court refused to grant bail to Rajesh Bishoyi, the co-accused, as the seized ganja was considered a commercial quantity under Section 37 of the NDPS Act.
The contraband, totaling 33.058 kilograms, was found in two suitcases at Begumpet railway station during a joint check by RPF personnel.
The petitioners contended that they were falsely implicated without evidence, while the state argued that the investigation was still ongoing.
The court noted that Section 37 of the NDPS Act imposes a statutory bar on granting bail in cases involving commercial quantities unless certain conditions are met.
