Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the accused under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the trial court's finding that the prosecution proved the possession of brown sugar. The Court emphasized the sufficiency of the testimony from the police and panch witnesses, rejecting the defense's argument regarding discrepancies in the evidence. The sentence of 10 years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1,00,000 was also maintained, with the Court finding no merit in the appeal against conviction.
