Anand Pratap Jarwal vs State of Maharashtra — 38/2026

Summary: Bail Application No. 38/2026 Court Decision: The Additional Sessions Judge at Paithan rejected Anand Pratap Jarwal's bail application under Section 483 BNSS for NDPS Act violations involving commercial quantity ganja. The court found that the applicant failed to establish prima facie innocence or that he would not reoffend if released, as required under Section 37 of the NDPS Act for commercial quantity offences. Key Reasoning: The 67.5 kg ganja seized exceeds the 20 kg commercial quantity threshold. The court dismissed arguments that neutral substances should be excluded (citing Supreme Court precedent), that the substance wasn't ganja (chemical analysis confirmed it), and that bail should be granted on parity grounds with a co-accused (such claims must be made to the same court that granted the earlier bail).
