Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellants for smuggling liquor under Section 61 of the Punjab Excise Act, 1914, affirming the findings of the Metropolitan Magistrate and the Additional Sessions Judge. The Court ruled that the evidence presented, including the testimony of police witnesses and the procedures followed in sealing and sending samples for analysis, were sufficient to establish the guilt of the appellants. The Court found no merit in the appellants' claims regarding delays in dispatching samples and the need for additional witness testimony, thereby dismissing the appeal.
