FAQ
Narcotics — Frequently Asked Questions
Can bail be granted in a CNSA case in Pakistan?
+
Bail under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act, 1997 is restrictive — for recoveries above 1 kg of narcotics, bail is barred under Section 51 CNSA except in extraordinary circumstances. Where the recovery is below 1 kg, or where 'further inquiry' grounds exist (e.g. defective FSL report, chain-of-custody breach, identity issues), the Lahore High Court has consistently granted bail.
