    The High Court granted regular bail to Sushant Sharma, who was arrested in March 2024 for possession of 5,000 Tramadol Hydrochloride tablets under NDPS Act sections. The court found that despite the gravity of charges and commercial quantity recovered, Sharma's prolonged incarceration for over 2 years combined with trial delay (only 4 of 13 prosecution witnesses examined) and clean antecedents justified bail, relying on Supreme Court precedents that constitutional protections under Article 21 override Section 37 NDPS restrictions in cases of excessive imprisonment. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
