STATE OF ORISSA vs JANMEJOY DINDA

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the respondent under Section 27(b)(ii) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 for stocking drugs without a valid license. The Court found that the respondent failed to disclose the source of the drugs, which constituted a violation of the Act. The High Court's acquittal of the respondent under Section 28 was deemed erroneous, leading to the reinstatement of the original conviction and sentence.
