Summary of Crl.A. No. 001368/2008 Case: Narcotics Control Bureau v. Usman @ Usman Haji & Others Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's bail orders, cancelling bail granted to all three respondents (Usman Haji, K.P. Abdul Razak, and Moideen Kutty). The respondents were ordered to be taken into custody forthwith. Key Facts: The respondents were arrested after 7.785 kg of heroin was seized from them at a railway station in March 2006. The High Court had initially rejected their bail applications but later granted bail in August-September 2006 without fresh material or extraordinary circumstances. The Supreme Court found this violated Section 37 of the NDPS Act, which imposes a statutory embargo on bail in narcotic drug cases.
