Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the High Court's acquittal of Udai Lal under Section 8/15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, holding that the prosecution had established a prima facie case against him. The Court emphasized that the evidence presented, including the seizure of poppy husk, was sufficient to uphold the conviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentence imposed by the Special Judge, NDPS cases, Chittorgarh.
