NDPS Act Section 29 | Confessional Statement of Co-Accused Inadmissible for Bail Denial : Allahabad HC

Allahabad High Court reinforces that a co-accused's confessional statement under Section 29 of the NDPS Act cannot be used to deny bail to another accused, absent independent evidence linking them to the recovery. The ruling aligns with the Supreme Court's precedent in Toofan Singh, ensuring bail is not denied solely on the basis of a co-accused's confession.
