    The Jharkhand High Court granted anticipatory bail to petitioners Upendra Kumar Keshri and Chotu Paswan, who faced NDPS Act charges for alleged poppy cultivation on forest department land. The court found their arguments credible—that the land didn't belong to them and they had no criminal antecedents—and ordered their release on bail of Rs. 25,000 each with two sureties, upon surrender within three weeks.
