The Supreme Court on Friday refused to grant bail to the accused in the drug case. For this, a bench of Justice Bela Trivedi and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma cited the web series 'Narcos' and 'Breaking Bad'.
During the hearing, the accused's lawyer told the bench- the person arrested in the NDPS case is not a big threat to the society, his arrest is wrong. On that, the bench said- such drug syndicates are killing the youth of the country.
Justice Sharma said – I am asking you (counsel for the accused), have you seen Narcos? Very strong syndicate, rarely caught. Another must watch movie is Breaking Bad. You cannot fight people who are literally killing the youth of this country.
In fact, the Supreme Court heard an appeal against the Delhi High Court's decision on October 4. In which the High Court refused to grant bail to the accused. He was caught with 73.80 grams of smack (heroin) in April this year.

What's up with Narcos and Breaking Bad
narcos- Narcos is the story of Colombian drug peddler Pablo Escobar. The series shows how Pablo started a drug business across Colombia and made billions from it. While on one hand Pablo was expanding his drug business, on the other hand some investigative agencies were looking for him. It is considered to be the best crime drama series of all time. Its first season was released in the year 2015.
breaking bad- Starting in 2008, the web series Breaking Bad follows a high school teacher who is diagnosed with cancer. Walter White sets out to shut down the drug business after reporting his illness. However, after some time his intentions completely change and Walter himself gets involved in this business out of greed. Bryan Cranston plays the role of Walter in the film.
SC Directive- Constitute State Grievance Committee on Sexual Harassment On December 3, the Supreme Court directed that all states should constitute an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) to protect women from sexual harassment at the workplace. A bench of Justice BV Nagarathna and Justice N Kotishwar Singh in the Supreme Court gave this direction on Tuesday on a petition filed by a former Goa University professor.
The bench said- Prevention of Sexual Harassment Act (PoSH) was brought in 2013 for the protection of women. It is worrisome to see such serious flaws in its implementation even after such a long time. It is very sad because it negatively affects the functioning of states, public authorities and public institutions.
