NDPS Act | 60-Day Arrest Protection Granted Despite FIR Not Quashed, Conditional on Voluntary Surrender : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court refused to quash an NDPS FIR but granted the accused 60 days of protection from arrest, conditioning it on his mandatory appearance before the trial court to seek bail. This reinforces that procedural safeguards can coexist with the seriousness of drug offenses, offering a narrow window for accused persons to secure bail without triggering immediate detention.
