The Supreme Court granted leave in a case where the appellant was convicted under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The appellant was sentenced to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment with a fine on each count. Considering the appellant had already served over seven years in jail and the appeal might not be heard soon, the Court allowed the appeal. The Court directed that upon the appellant depositing the fine, the execution of the imprisonment sentence would be suspended during the appeal hearing by the High Court, and the appellant would be released on bail.
