NDPS Act | Discarding Contraband Upon Police Detection Constitutes Conscious Possession : Punjab & Haryana HC Denies Bail for Commercial Quantity
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that discarding contraband upon noticing police establishes 'conscious possession' under the NDPS Act, justifying denial of bail for commercial quantity offences. The court also held that a second bail petition without material change in circumstances is not maintainable, reinforcing strict bail conditions for repeat offenders.
