The Supreme Court has extended interim bail granted to Alfiya Faisal Shaikh, a woman booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, by six months. The woman was already on interim bail to deliver and take care of her fourth child. The Union of India opposed the grant of regular bail stating that it was the fourth child that the Petitioner had delivered. It was then that the Court said that no child should inherit the crime of the parent and the Court referred to Lord Krishna being born as the eighth child. The Bench of Justice MM Sundresh and Justice Aravind Kumar ordered, “We are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment on merits.. However, in light of the fact, that the appellant is a lady having an infant child, we are inclined to extend the interim bail granted to her for a further period of six months. Disposed of accordingly,”
