Case Summary: BA/3597/2025 The Bombay High Court granted bail to Mahendra Chandra Singh in an NDPS Act case, finding his arrest illegal due to non-communication of grounds of arrest in writing. The court held that failure to provide written grounds of arrest violates Supreme Court precedent (Pankaj Bansal) and renders the arrest itself invalid, regardless of whether the applicant was already in custody for another crime. The applicant was released on a Rs.50,000 PR Bond with conditions including monthly reporting and attendance at trial. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
