Mahendra Anaram Fardauda vs State of Maharashtra — 172/2026

The court granted bail to Mahendra Anaram Fardauda, who was accused of transporting contraband panmasala and scented tobacco worth Rs. 23,19,510 in a luxury bus under Food Safety and Standards Act offences. The court found no justifiable ground for detention since the offences were non-bailable, the contraband and vehicle were already seized, and there was no risk of tampering with public servant witnesses, while suitable bail conditions could address concerns about absconding.
