NDPS Act Section 20(b)(ii)(B) | Police Testimony Alone Sufficient for Conscious Possession Without Independent Witness Corroboration : Chhattisgarh HC
The Chhattisgarh High Court affirmed that in NDPS cases, the uncorroborated testimony of the investigating officer can establish conscious possession of contraband, reinforcing prosecutorial credibility in absence of eyewitnesses. This ruling strengthens the evidentiary standard for drug possession convictions while the sentence reduction to time served underscores judicial recognition of mitigating personal circumstances.
