Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 9 of the Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act, rejecting the argument that the investigation was illegal due to being conducted by a Sub-Inspector instead of an Assistant Commissioner of Police. The Court found that the Assistant Commissioner was involved in the investigation and verified the statements, thus validating the process. The appeal was dismissed, and the appellant was directed to surrender to custody to serve the remainder of his sentence.
