Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the conviction under the NDPS Act, specifically Sections 8(c), 21, 28, and 23, regarding the possession and trafficking of narcotics. The Court held that the prosecution failed to establish a clear chain of evidence linking the respondent to the contraband, leading to the conclusion that the High Court's acquittal was justified. Consequently, the appeal against the High Court's decision was dismissed, affirming the respondent's acquittal.
