NDPS Act | Framing Of Charges By Court Without Jurisdiction Will Not Affect Evidence Recorded By Special Court: Kerala High Court

The Kerala High Court ruled that charges under the NDPS Act cannot be quashed solely based on the absence of a court notification regarding the evidence. The court emphasized that the validity of the charges depends on the substance of the evidence presented, not procedural technicalities. The case involved an accused challenging the charges on the grounds that the court had not issued a notification about the evidence. The court found that the absence of such a notification did not invalidate the charges, as long as the evidence itself was admissible and relevant. The judgment highlights the importance of focusing on the merits of the case rather than procedural lapses.
