The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 22 read with Section 8(c) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, confirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court established that the prosecution's evidence, including the seizure of 50,000 Mandrex tablets and the appellant's statements under Section 67 of the NDPS Act, was sufficient to support the conviction. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's findings.
