NDPS Act | Co-Accused Confessions Alone Suffice for Prima Facie Case Under Bhajan Lal & Toofan Singh : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that confessional statements of co-accused, though not sole evidence, are adequate to establish a prima facie case under Sections 20(B)/29 of the NDPS Act. The court rejected the petitioner's employment status as a ground to quash FIR, reinforcing that criminal liability under narcotics laws cannot be negated by professional role alone.
