Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, reversing the Trial Court's acquittal. The Court found that the prosecution had established the appellant's possession of manufactured drugs, specifically Buprenorphine, and that the search complied with the requirements of Section 50 of the Act. The discrepancies noted by the Trial Court were deemed trivial and did not undermine the credibility of the prosecution's case.
