Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 20(b)(ii) of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming that the presumption of knowledge under Section 35 of the Act was not rebutted by the appellant. The Court found that the appellant's defense of ignorance regarding the contents of the gunny bags was insufficient, as he failed to prove his lack of knowledge. The Court also addressed the argument regarding non-compliance with Section 50 of the Act but found it unmeritorious, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
