Justice Mohd Yousuf Wani held it would be a gross invasion of the petitioner's security to arrest them under NDPS Act after 15 years. The court noted that 35 bottles of 100 ml Codeine Phosphate mixture fell within the Small quantityí category. Consequently the severity charge was reduced by this quite a bit. It stressed that whether something is commercial depends on the actual narcotic content in the mixture. It was unarguable that there could be no break from bail if the police saw no need for arrest over 15 years.
