Orders in this case
Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 002617 / 2026 The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the criminal appeals filed by Shirajees Salkin against the Chhattisgarh High Court's denial of regular bail dated 11-12 February 2026. The appellants had been in custody since 24 July 2025 for alleged NDPS Act violations involving commercial quantity contraband; however, the Court found that their continued incarceration was unwarranted given that investigation was complete, trial had commenced, and none possessed criminal antecedents. The Court set aside the impugned orders and directed the appellants' release on bail with conditions to be fixed by the trial Court, clarifying that no observations were made on case merits.
