Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the scope of Section 64 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, determining that the Central Government can grant immunity from prosecution even after a Sessions Judge has rejected a pardon application under Section 307 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the decision of the Central Government was valid as it was based on the willingness of the co-accused to provide evidence against the principal accused, despite prior judicial rejection. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the immunity granted to the respondent.
