Section 37 NDPS Act | Mere Presence in Shared Jail Space Without Individualized Evidence Insufficient for Bail Denial : Punjab and Haryana HC
The Punjab and Haryana High Court ruled that recovery of contraband from a common jail area, without evidence linking specific accused, does not justify bail denial under Section 37 of the NDPS Act. This holding reinforces that bail restrictions under the Act require individualized proof, not just proximity to seized drugs.
