Durgo Bai & Anr vs State Of Punjab

The Supreme Court upheld the convictions under Section 22 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, affirming the ten-year imprisonment and fine imposed on the appellants for possession of heroin. Additionally, the Court confirmed the conviction of Phuman Singh under Section 307 IPC for firing at a police party, resulting in a concurrent four-year sentence. The Court found that the trial court's acquittal of Phuman Singh under the Arms Act was justified due to lack of proper sanction proof, thus maintaining the integrity of the convictions under the narcotics and IPC provisions.
