SAMEER MALIK vs STATE OF UTTARAKHAND Advocate - G.A. — BA1 /2293/2025

The Uttarakhand High Court granted bail to Sameer Malik in an NDPS case under Section 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, finding that his arrest was based solely on a co-accused's confessional statement with no independent evidence linking him to the alleged offense. The court noted the absence of direct possession, financial trails, or proximate communication, citing the Supreme Court precedent that an accused's statement cannot be the sole basis for conviction. Malik was released on personal bond with two sureties, subject to conditions including regular trial court attendance and restrictions on leaving India.
