Section 2(iii)(b) NDPS Act | 'Gudedaar' Recovery Fails Statutory Definition of Ganja; Commercial Quantity Not Presumed Without Clear Identification : Uttarakhand HC
The Uttarakhand High Court denied that a substance labeled 'gudedaar' automatically qualifies as ganja under the NDPS Act, emphasizing that commercial quantity cannot be inferred without precise statutory identification. This ruling forces investigators and prosecutors to meet exacting evidentiary standards for cannabis-related charges, protecting accused persons from presumptive guilt based on vague terminology.
