Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act 1985 is a special act and is considered to be one of the most strict criminal laws in the country. It involves allegations pertaining to possession, consumption, sale or trafficking of illegal drugs and substances listed under the NDPS Act, 1985. Unlike other criminal laws in which the principle is that a person is innocent unless proved guilty, in NDPS Act presumption is against accused, thereby making it the responsibility of the accused persons to prove themselves not guilty. It means that if an accused person charged under the NDPS Act is unable to prove himself innocent, the court is usually bound to declare the said person as guilty. The NDPS Act provides for severe punishment and hefty fines, thereby making it extremely important for the accused persons to seek immediate and effective relief once charged under the NDPS Act 1985.
