Section 67 NDPS Act | Confessional Statements Inadmissible for Bail Denial; Financial Transactions Alone Insufficient for Complicity : Himachal Pradesh HC

Himachal Pradesh High Court ruled that confessional statements recorded under Section 67 of the NDPS Act cannot be relied upon to deny bail, and financial transactions without evidence of conscious possession are insufficient to establish complicity. The judgment reinforces the presumption of innocence and strict evidentiary standards in NDPS cases.
