SLP(Crl) No. 003805 - / 2025

In NDPS matters where trial is substantially advanced, bail may be declined while the court instead directs expeditious completion of proceedings within a fixed timeframe, with liberty to the accused to renew bail if the deadline lapses. As analyzed on casestatus.in, this reflects the principle that prolonged incarceration without trial completion warrants judicial supervision of the trial process rather than automatic bail entitlement.
