Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court examined an appeal by the State of Haryana against a High Court judgment that reversed the conviction of the respondent under Section 18 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. The case centers on the recovery of contraband by police personnel and the subsequent evaluation of evidence to determine the legality of the conviction. The court analyzed whether the procedural requirements of the NDPS Act were met to sustain the criminal liability of the accused.
