Section 27(b) NDPS Act | Positive Urine Test Alone Insufficient for Bail Denial in Non-Commercial Offences: Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that a positive urine test, without recovery of narcotics, does not justify denying bail under Section 27(b) of the NDPS Act for non-commercial offences. The judgment underscores proportionality in bail considerations, limiting the scope of pre-trial detention where no contraband is seized.
