Kanhaiyalal vs Union Of India (Uoi)

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of convictions under the NDPS Act, specifically Sections 8, 18, and 29, in the case of Kanhaiyalal and Ram Prasad, who were convicted based on statements made under Section 67. The Court held that such statements, made to an officer, do not constitute confessions and require corroborative evidence for conviction. Consequently, the Court overturned the High Court's decision, emphasizing the necessity of additional evidence beyond the statements for a lawful conviction under the NDPS Act.
