Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Rajasthan High Court's judgment of acquittal for the respondent charged under Section 8/21 of the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The Court found that the High Court correctly identified non-compliance with Section 42(2) of the Act, as the necessary documents to prove the receipt of oral information were not presented. Consequently, the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's decision.
