NDPS Act Section 20 | Commercial Quantity Must Be Apportioned Among Co-Accused for Bail Eligibility : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court ruled that when contraband is jointly possessed, its weight must be divided equally among co-accused to assess whether the commercial quantity threshold under the NDPS Act is crossed. This clarifies a critical bail criterion for joint possession cases, ensuring fairer application of statutory thresholds and protecting individuals from disproportionate detention where individual shares fall below the limit.
