State Of Punjab vs Balkar Singh And Anr

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of Balkar Singh and Munish Chand, who were accused under Section 15 of the NDPS Act for possession of poppy husk. The Court found that the prosecution failed to prove conscious possession, as the evidence did not establish how the accused were linked to the bags of poppy husk. The Court emphasized the need for satisfactory evidence to demonstrate possession, affirming the High Court's conclusion that the prosecution did not meet its burden of proof.
