Section 23 BSA Excludes Disclosure Statements; No Recovery & Parity Yield Regular Bail Under BNSS 483 in NDPS Case : Punjab & Haryana HC

The court ruled that disclosure statements excluded by Section 23 BSA cannot sustain detention absent any recovery or FIR mention. Granting parity with bailed co-accused, it allowed regular bail under BNSS Section 483, stressing that indefinite pre-trial incarceration is impermissible at the early trial stage.
