BNSS Section 430(1) | Bail Granted Under NDPS Act Despite Conviction Due to Weak Circumstantial Evidence Linking Accused to Contraband : MP HC

MP High Court suspends a 10-year NDPS Act sentence, granting bail after 4+ years of custody, holding that mere vehicle ownership without direct contraband possession fails to establish guilt. The ruling underscores that circumstantial evidence must conclusively link the accused to the crime for prolonged detention under stringent narcotics laws.
