P&H HC: Possession of Contraband Need Not Necessarily Attract NDPS Provisions - 07.09.2021

The reason for this, the Court said is that often organizers of drug cartels keep themselves at a distance from the contraband and hence, making possession a necessary ingredient would provide them an escape route from law enforcement.
