NDPS Act Section 20(b)(ii)(B) | Confession of Co-Accused Alone Insufficient for Bail Denial in Non-Commercial Quantity Cases : Andhra Pradesh HC

Andhra Pradesh High Court rules that bail cannot be denied solely based on a co-accused's confession, especially when no contraband was recovered from the accused and the quantity (1.8 kg ganja) is non-commercial. The judgment reinforces that detention must be justified by independent evidence, not just testimonial links.
