Analysis and Conclusion:
Possession of a small quantity of MDMA (up to 0.5 grams) under the NDPS Act generally warrants grant of bail, especially if the accused has no prior criminal record. However, possession of quantities exceeding this threshold, particularly approaching or surpassing 10 grams, is classified as a commercial quantity, leading to stricter legal consequences and typically denial of bail. Courts consistently apply these thresholds to determine bail eligibility, emphasizing the seriousness of drug offences involving commercial quantities.
