The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to grant bail to Mohd. Jabir, an accused in a heroin trafficking case, holding that the strict conditions of the NDPS law barred his release despite years in custody.

Jabir was arrested in October 2020 after officers of the Anti-Narcotics Cell conducted a late-night raid near Bhalswa Chowk in north Delhi. Acting on a tip-off, the police intercepted Jabir and another accused, Wasim, during what investigators said was a live drug transaction.

At the Srinagar wing of the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court, a bench comprising Justice Sanjeev Kumar and Justice Sanjay Parihar on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by National Insurance Company Limited. The insurer was seeking to overturn a compensation award granted to a family whose home was damaged during the devastating 2014 floods.

The case originates from a policy taken by late Shad Mohd Bashir, whose residential house at Sarai Payeen, Amira Kadal, Srinagar, had been insured since 2009. Though the policy was renewed annually, the company later claimed that it excluded flood and similar storm-related risks - referred to in technical jargon as “STFI” (Storm, Tempest, Flood, Inundation).
