It was held that merely recording submissions of parties does not amount to indication of judicial, or, for that matter, judicious application of mind by High Court to basic question as to whether bail should be granted. Provisions of S. 37 of the NDPS Act provide legal norms which have to be applied in determining whether a case for grant of bail has been made out. Herein, there has been serious infraction by High Court of its duty to apply law. High Court misapplied law to facts in arriving at decision for grant of bail to respondent-accused.

Exclusion negates individual dignity and worth. Accommodation implies positive obligation to create conditions conducive to growth and fulfilment of disabled in every aspect of their existence. Accommodation which law mandates is \u201creasonable\u201d since it has to meet requirement of each condition of disability.
