casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Lingeshwaran's bail petition in a drug trafficking case under the NDPS Act was dismissed by the Supreme Court on April 2, 2026. The petitioner sought bail for possession of 2.70 grams of methamphetamine (marginally above the "small quantity" threshold of 2 grams), arguing he had no criminal history and no evidence linked him to the drug source, while also contesting procedural violations in search and seizure. The Court found insufficient grounds for bail despite the arguments and dismissed the petition with all pending applications disposed of.
