    Case Summary: CRMPM/204/2026 Court Decision: The Himachal Pradesh High Court GRANTED BAIL to applicant Chote Khan in a narcotic drugs case. The court found that police evidence linking him to the crime—primarily a co-accused's confession and Call Detail Records (CDRs)—was insufficient to deny bail, as confessions made to police are inadmissible under NDPS Act law and CDRs alone cannot establish criminal involvement. Key Reasoning: The court emphasized that mere phone communication between village residents and telephone metadata do not overcome the presumption of innocence, especially when co-accused (Harsh, Akshit, Dushyant) had already been released on bail on similar grounds. Bail was granted on ₹50,000 personal bond with conditions including court attendance and travel restrictions.
