Analysis and Conclusion:
The rejection of bail under the NDPS Act is predominantly driven by the quantity of contraband, the accused's criminal history, and procedural adherence. While bail is generally an exception under this stringent law, courts do consider individual circumstances, especially in cases involving smaller quantities or procedural irregularities. The overarching principle remains that for commercial quantities and repeat offenders, bail is often denied to uphold the law's strict control over narcotics offenses.
