Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 ; Section 37 – At the stage of examining an application for bail in the context of the Section 37 of the Act, the Court is not required to record a finding that the accused person is not guilty. The Court is also not expected to weigh the evidence for arriving at a finding as to whether the accused has committed an offence under the NDPS Act or not.

Thus, the focus is on the availability of reasonable grounds for believing that the accused is not guilty of the offences that he has been charged with and he is unlikely to commit an offence under the Act while on bail. (Para 15)
The Supreme Court observed that the expression “reasonable grounds” used in Section 37(1)(b) under NDPS Act would mean credible, plausible grounds for the Court to believe that the accused person…
