MP HC Grants Bail to Firoz in NDPS Case Due to Lack of Evidence (2026) held that The court emphasized that bail can be granted when there is no tangible evidence connecting the applicant to the alleged crime.

He filed a bail application after being in custody since October 7, 2025, arguing he was falsely implicated based solely on a co-accused's disclosure. The court found no tangible evidence linking him to the crime and granted bail, subject to conditions. The ruling emphasized the lack of direct evidence against Firoz despite his criminal history.
