Section 483 BNSS | Driver with No Knowledge of Contraband Entitled to Bail Despite Commercial Quantity: Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court granted bail to a driver accused of transporting 86.25 kg of ganja, holding that mere presence in a vehicle containing commercial quantities does not establish prima facie knowledge under Section 483 BNSS. This ruling reinforces that passive participation without intent or control cannot override the presumption of innocence, setting a critical precedent for low-level transporters in NDPS cases.
