Quantities vary by substance. For example, for heroin, small quantity is 5g and commercial quantity is 250g. For cannabis, small is 1kg and commercial is 20kg. Consult our lawyer for specific substances.
Bail in NDPS cases is very strict under Section 37. For commercial quantities, the prosecution must be given notice and the court must be satisfied that the accused is not guilty and will not re-offend.
If the search and seizure was conducted without following the procedure under Sections 41-43 of NDPS Act, the evidence may be inadmissible. This is a strong defence ground.
For small quantities, a first-time offender may get bail more easily. For commercial quantities, bail is very difficult even for first-time offenders due to Section 37 restrictions.
Drug trafficking in commercial quantities attracts rigorous imprisonment of 10-20 years and fine of Rs. 1-2 lakh. In some cases, the fine can be higher. Repeat offenders face stricter penalties.
Yes, consumption of certain drugs is an offence under Section 27 of NDPS Act. However, the punishment is less severe — up to 1 year imprisonment or fine for certain drugs.
The seized substance must be sent for forensic analysis. The sample must be drawn, sealed, and sent to the FSL promptly. Any tampering or delay can be challenged in court.
An experienced NDPS lawyer can challenge illegal searches, argue for bail, cross-examine prosecution witnesses, present forensic evidence doubts, and build a strong defence strategy.
