#Non-commercial quantity bail

Bombay High Court rules that arrest and bail denial under the NDPS Act cannot rely solely on a co-accused's custodial statement if no contraband is recovered from the accused. The judgment reinforces that Section 29 conspiracy charges require corroborative evidence beyond mere statements, impacting bail jurisprudence in non-commercial quantity cases.

Madhya Pradesh High Court grants bail in an NDPS case involving a non-commercial quantity, emphasizing that prolonged judicial custody without trial completion warrants release. The ruling reinforces judicial discretion in balancing personal liberty with narcotics offences under Section 8 of the NDPS Act.
