Supreme Court Upholds Bail for Accused in Mundra Port Drug Seizure Case
The Supreme Court rejected the National Investigation Agency's plea to cancel bail granted to Harpreet Singh Talwar, a key accused in the 2021 Mundra port drug seizure of nearly 3,000 kg heroin. The court noted that all sensitive witnesses related to Talwar had been examined and allowed bail due to prolonged incarceration and trial delays. It clarified that other accused cannot seek bail based on parity and permitted the NIA to seek bail cancellation if Talwar influences witnesses or delays the trial.
