S. 67 NDPS Act | Additional Evidence Essential Before Acting Upon Co-Accused's Confession: J&K High Court

The Jammu and Kashmir High Court ruled that under Section 67 of the NDPS Act, mere confession by a co-accused is insufficient grounds for conviction without additional corroborative material. The court emphasized the necessity of independent evidence to substantiate such confessions for judicial reliance. This decision underscores the importance of corroborative evidence in drug-related cases to ensure fair trials and prevent wrongful convictions based solely on confessions.
