Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions of the appellants under Section 8(C) read with Section 20(b)(2) of the NDPS Act for possession of narcotic drugs. The Court addressed the argument regarding the legality of the investigation conducted by PW-8, who was both the informant and investigator, referencing Megha Singh v. State of Haryana and clarifying that bias must be proven based on facts. The Court found no evidence of bias and confirmed the lower courts' decisions, dismissing the appeals.
