Section 37 NDPS Act | Non-Disclosure of Criminal Antecedents Fatal to Bail Petition: APHC Reinforces Transparency Obligation
Andhra Pradesh High Court dismisses bail under NDPS Act where the accused failed to disclose prior criminal history, emphasizing that transparency in bail adjudication is non-negotiable. The ruling aligns with Zeba Khan v. State of U.P., setting a precedent that non-disclosure can vitiate bail even in commercial quantity offences.
