Summary of Crl.A. No. 2808/2026 - Abhishek Jain v. Union of India The Supreme Court allowed Abhishek Jain's appeal and set aside the High Court's rejection of his sentence suspension plea. Jain, serving an 11-year sentence for NDPS Act offences, had spent over 7 years in custody (more than half his sentence) while his High Court appeal remained pending due to significant backlogs. The Court found the High Court's refusal unjustified and ordered his sentence suspended pending disposal of his appeal, with conditional bail release. Jain must actively pursue his High Court appeal; bail can be cancelled if he fails to cooperate or breaches conditions.
