The High Court had granted bail to Rhea Chakraborty, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda but rejected the bail pleas of Abdul Parihar and Showik Chakraborty. Thus, the Government appealed to the Supreme Court against the said bail order.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Central Government told the Bench that it will not challenge the bail granted to Rhea Chakraborty in the cases registered against her under the NDPS Act. However, the Bombay High Court&#8217;s interpretation of Section 27A of the NDPS Act, under which a person can be sent to jail for a maximum of 20 years for financing illicit traffic and harbouring offenders, should be kept open for challenge at an appropriate time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><b>Source:<\/b> Press<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><i>Rhea Chakraborty and others including her brother Showik Chakraborty were accused of having facilitated the procurement of drugs for consumption by late actor Sushant Singh Rajput.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":67512,"featured_media":297143,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1188,2],"tags":[2664,2569,11151,43446,21061,42915,59453,5363,42991,44101],"class_list":["post-297135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot_off_the_press","category-news","tag-Bail","tag-Bombay_High_Court","tag-drugs","tag-illicit-traffic","tag-ndps-act","tag-rhea-chakraborty","tag-section-27a-ndps-act","tag-supreme-court","tag-sushant-singh-rajput","tag-union-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.4 (Yoast SEO v26.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Supreme Court disposes of Union&#039;s appeal against Rhea Chakraborty bail order |SCC Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Supreme Court disposed of Union&#039;s appeal against Rhea Chakraborty bail order and Kept question of law open\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2023\/07\/18\/supreme-court-disposes-of-union-appeal-against-rhea-chakraborty-bail-order\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Supreme Court disposes of Union&#039;s appeal against Rhea Chakraborty bail order;
