NDPS Act Section 20 | Only Flowering/Fruiting Tops of Cannabis Plants Count for Commercial Quantity : Rajasthan HC

Rajasthan High Court clarifies that under the NDPS Act, only the flowering or fruiting tops of cannabis plants-not the entire plant-are considered for determining commercial quantity. The ruling grants bail to accused where the prosecution weighed whole plants, potentially reducing the contraband below the commercial threshold and impacting future drug offence prosecutions.
