Mere Call Records Without Voice Recordings Insufficient for Conviction Under NDPS Act : J&K High Court

The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court has granted bail to Yugraj Singh, who is accused of financing illicit drug trafficking under Section 27-A of the NDPS Act.

Justice Sanjay Dhar ruled that mere call detail records (CDRs) without accompanying voice recordings are insufficient for conviction, though they may raise suspicion.  

Singh was arrested based on co-accused statements, which the court deemed inadmissible as confessions made in police custody

Noting the absence of prior criminal records and considering that a co-accused had already been granted bail, the court admitted Singh to bail under specified conditions.
