2006 (11) TMI 542 - SC - CustomsWhether the drugs in question not being listed in the 1st Schedule appended to Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Rules, 1985 Whether the respondent cannot be said to have committed any offence under Section 8 read with Section 22 of 1985 Act? - Held that:- Appeal dissmised. Respondent is charged with a grave offence. It was, therefore, all the more necessary to apply the principles of law strictly. A person cannot be denied the right of being released on bail unless a clear case of application of the 1985 Act is made out. He has been in custody for a period of more than two years now, in our opinion, it is not a fit case where we should exercise our discretionary jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution of India.
