It is high time that while considering the bail application of such bail petitioners, who resort to small quantity or intermediate quantity trafficking etc. needs, to be dealt with by iron hands," the court stated. 'Take Cue From Bhutan’: Himachal Pradesh High Court Suggests Government to Impose Solid Waste Management Charge on Tourists.
