Section 67 NDPS Act | Confessional Statements Without Contraband Recovery Insufficient to Establish Complicity : Himachal Pradesh HC
The Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that confessional statements under Section 67 of the NDPS Act cannot alone prove criminal liability of owners or managers if contraband is not recovered from their possession. The judgment reinforces that corporate association does not automatically imply culpability, safeguarding the presumption of innocence in drug-related offenses.
