Section 51 BNSS & NDPS Act | Illegal Arrest Vitiates Forensic Evidence, Mandates Acquittal: Karnataka HC
Karnataka High Court rules that an illegal arrest under Section 51 BNSS renders subsequent forensic evidence, including blood samples, inadmissible in NDPS prosecutions. The judgment underscores that procedural violations at arrest stage irreparably taint the entire case, mandating quashing of charges even in drug offences.
