SC denied regular bail in a high-profile narcotics smuggling case involving transnational drug syndicate. The Court rejected the appellant's bail application, citing significant flight risk, potential witness tampering, and ongoing complex investigation involving substantial heroin seizure. While not definitively linking the case to terror financing, the Court directed NIA to submit a list of material witnesses and mandated expedited trial proceedings. The appellant was permitted to renew bail plea after six months or upon substantial trial progression, emphasizing the need to preserve investigative integrity without prejudicing the case's ultimate merits.
