    Summary of BA/341/2026 The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur) granted bail to Shubham Prakash Pawar, accused of NDPS Act violations for possessing approximately 4kg of cannabis material. The court held that the recovered material did not constitute "ganja" as legally defined—the weight included seeds, stalks, and leaves not meeting NDPS specifications, and the quantity was non-commercial. The court rejected the state's reliance on prior criminal antecedents, applying established precedent that prior cases alone cannot deny bail without prima facie necessity for continued detention. Pawar was released on Rs. 50,000 PR bond with sureties, subject to standard bail conditions including non-interference with witnesses and cooperation in trial. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
