NDPS Act Section 29 | Mere Vehicle Ownership Without Knowledge or Connivance Insufficient for Bail Denial : Orissa HC
Orissa High Court rules that vehicle ownership alone, absent evidence of knowledge or active involvement in contraband transport, does not justify bail denial under Section 37 of the NDPS Act. The judgment reinforces that vicarious liability requires proof of connivance, not just ownership, impacting bail jurisprudence in drug trafficking cases.
