Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's acquittal of the respondent in a case under Section 8 read with Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, citing insufficient link evidence. The Court noted the absence of the malkhana register and failure to provide a sample of the seal for comparison, which undermined the prosecution's case. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Rajasthan was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
