Yes, you can seek anticipatory bail if you have an apprehension of arrest in the NDPS Case. Firstly, you can apply for bail before the District Court, and if the District Court junked your plea for anticipatory bail then you can file the same before the concerned High Court. However, the concession of anticipatory bail depends on various factors such as the quantity of drugs, number of pending cases of similar nature, the role of the accused, etc.

No, although the illegal selling of alcohol is an offence, but it is not covered under the NDPS Act. Different states have different legislation to put a cap over the illegal selling of liquor. For instance, in Punjab, the Punjab Excise Act, 1914 prohibits the illicit manufacturing and sale of alcohol.

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act restricts the manufacturing, possession and sale of narcotics and psychotropic substances. The punishment under the Act depends upon the quantity of the drug. The Act classified the amount of drugs into three categories i.e. small quantity, non-commercial quantity, and commercial quantity. Therefore, 5 grams of heroin falls under the small quantity category and constitutes an offence under the Act.

Certainly, as per various judgements, an accused person can take benefit of non-compilation of conditions under the NDPS Act by the police officials. To exemplify, a police officer is required to give an offer under Section 50 to the accused before making the search. Similarly, a police officer is required to reduce the information received in writing as well as to send a copy of the same to some higher rank officer under Section 42 of the Act. If there is a violation of any of the provisions under the Act, then the advantage of the same will be given to the accused.

No, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India has ruled in the multifarious judgements that recovery from co-accused can’t be taken as a whole for the purpose of prosecution. To illustrate, if 240 grams of heroin has been recovered from one accused and 200 grams of heroin from the other, then, in that case, it can’t be taken as a whole by the prosecution to make it a commercial quantity.

The court reserves the right to cancel the granted bail to the accused person. There are some grounds on the basis of which the court can cancel the bail including the interference in the investigation, making attempts to tamper with evidence or witnesses, apprehension of fleeing away, and any misuse of liberty, etc.
